Never lift or attempt to lift the aquarium from the top frame. 2. When carrying or moving the aquarium, be sure to only carry the aquarium from underneath, supporting the bottom at all times. 3. Never lift or move the aquarium unless the aquarium is completely empty. 4. Never lift the aquarium unless both hands and the aquarium are completely dry. 5. Metal algae scrapers or other abrasive substrates can scratch or damage the glass surface which is not covered under warranty, use at your own risk! Choosing the location Before you begin to set up your new aquarium, choose an appropriate location. Select a spot away from high-traffic areas and doorways, and away from direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight will make it more difficult to regulate the temperature of the aquarium, and can cause excessive algae growth. Place the aquarium on a Seapora cabinet or on a cabinet that is designed and commercially manufactured for use with an aquarium of this size and weight. If a Seapora cabinet is not used, care must be taken to ensure that the cabinet is completely flat and level, and is capable of supporting the full weight of the tank without any flexing, bending or wobbling. Any movement or flexibility in the location can result in leaking seams or pressure cracks in the aquarium glass. A full aquarium will weigh approximately 9 pounds per gallon of aquarium capacity. The entire bottom frame must come in contact with the surface on which the aquarium sits. Any gaps between the surface and the frame can cause flexing and leakage later on. Make sure that the location you choose is near an electrical outlet. You will need to connect your light, filter and heater to an outlet. Also make sure the location is one you will be happy with for some time – moving an established aquarium can be a lot of work. Starting your aquarium Are you starting an aquarium projects?
