Set-Up & Placement

• Stable Surface: Always place the aquarium on a level, sturdy, and weight-bearing surface (e.g., a dedicated aquarium stand or robust piece of furniture). Water and substrate are heavy, so ensure the surface can handle the full weight.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not place the tank in direct sunlight, which can lead to rapid temperature fluctuations and excessive algae growth.

• Power Safety: If adding electrical equipment (heater, filter, light), ensure all components have a “drip loop” in the power cord to prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.

• Child/Pet Safety: Place the tank out of reach of small children and pets to prevent accidental knocking or interference.

Maintenance & Fish Health

• Cycling: New aquariums must be properly “cycled” before adding fish to establish beneficial bacteria that process fish waste (the nitrogen cycle). This is a critical safety mechanism for fish health.

• Overstocking: Do not overstock the tank. The 40 cm size has a limited capacity; research the specific needs of your chosen species.

• Water Quality: Regularly test your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) to ensure a safe, stable environment for your fish. Use an appropriate aquarium water conditioner to remove chlorine and chloramine from tap water before adding it to the tank.
