Aquarium Setup Instructions

All aquariums must be set up on stand as specified in warranty. A sheet of 3/4″ Styrofoam or 3/4″ aquarium grade pad (reaching completely side-to-side and front-to-back) must be placed between the aquarium and the solid surface of the stand. Aquariums should not be set on wood furniture, stereos, televisions, or other surfaces that have not been designed to support an aquarium. Setting up the aquarium on a homemade stand or on a surface such as the ones mentioned above can result in stress breakage of the aquarium. Breakage for these reasons is NOT warrantied.

It is very important to follow the SET UP INSTRUCTIONS: The aquarium must be evenly supported on a solid surfaced aquarium stand. Each leg of the aquarium stand must sit flat on the floor. Each corner of the aquarium must sit flat on each corner of the top of the aquarium stand. If either the legs or the corners of the aquarium do not sit flat, then proper shimming is required. The shimming referred to here is the placing of thin strips of wood shims between the aquarium stand and floor to achieve a flat and level stand. IMPORTANT!! Special setup is required on a carpeted floor because carpeting tends to cover up uneven floors which can cause stress breakage.

If the aquarium is set in carpeted area, the carpeting should be pulled back to expose the bare floor. Then follow setup instructions above with the stand on bare floor.
