A large aquarium brings water changes, filtration, and sometimes a reverse osmosis system into the home. The plumbing makes those chores easier, and the water chemistry is what keeps the fish healthy.

The RO
Many fish need water with no minerals, so a reverse osmosis system supplies the pure water and the tank is remineralized to the right chemistry.
The filtration
The tank's filtration circulates and cleans the water, and the plumbing keeps the flow even.
The temperature
Heaters keep the tank in range, and the water change should match the temperature to avoid shocking the fish.
