Aquarium furniture refers to the various ornaments and functional items in an aquarium.
Aquarium decorations
Ornamental aquarium furniture is often kitsch: ceramic mermaids, shipwrecks, castles, "No Fishing" signs, and plastic coral.
Examples of functional aquarium furniture include devices for removing algae from the glass (either a razor or a scouring pad, attached to the glass by a magnet), airstones, water filters, water heaters, and food dispensers.
Stands and cabinetry

Aquarium furniture may also refer to an item of (regular) furniture that features an aquarium in its design. A stand or cabinet that supports the aquarium may be considered aquarium furniture. Also, many home reef aquariums canopies containing metal halide lights. The canopies are often constructed to the same standards as high quality cabinetry.
