I remember reading an article before regarding the difference between aquariums and aquaria. But unfortunately, I cannot recall what the difference is.
Does anyone know the difference between the two terms?

the aquarium is just the tank. aquaria is the tank and everything that goes in or with it.

For day-to-day use, nothing. For a finer point of english Aquaria is more than one of the same type of aquarium, a plural of a singular. Whereas aquariums is more than one of several different types of aquarium. It's a plural of a plural.
In the same ways as one tuna is a fish, twenty tuna are fish, all the species on one reef are fishes.
