Preparing Your Solana Aquarium
The following steps should be performed prior to the addition of water, sand, etc. It is recommended
you consult your dealer on the proper types and methods of adding water, substrate and life to your
Solana.
Step 1. Preparing the location of the Solana
Just like any piece of furniture, placing the Solana in the home requires some forethought as to
the requirements of the aquarium itself and your viewing needs. Ideal locations should have the
following:
a. A solid, level floor capable of supporting a stand and aquarium weighing up to 400 lbs
b. Located in an area that does not receive direct sunlight
c. Located in an area that is not in the direct path of people or pets moving through the home
d. Have direct access to at least two (2) GFCI protected outlets (see safety instructions)
e. Have easy access to the front and sides of the Solana for cleaning and ventilation
f. A base or stand designed for use with aquariums and capable of supporting an aquarium weighing
up to 400 lbs
Step . Unpacking the Solana
Before unpacking the Solana, note any external damage to the box in case shipping damage has occurred
and be sure to keep all packaging in the unlikely event the unit needs to be returned.
If damage is noted please contact your dealer or retailer immediately before proceeding.
a. Remove the packaged Solana Aquarium from the outer carton and carefully cut any packaging
straps securing the top and bottom protective covers to the Solana. Carefully remove the glass top with
packaging (held in place by the front corner braces and top cover) and place in a safe area for installation
after setup is complete. Remove the top and bottom cardboard covers, and place the Solana on the
stand.
b. Rinse aquarium with clean freshwater - do not use detergents or soaps. Before assembling aquarium
and installing, we highly recommend water testing the aquarium for 12-24 hours. Place aquarium on
Solana stand or on a perfectly flat location and fill with freshwater. Allow aquarium to hold water for
12-24 hours and inspect for leaks or shipping damage (cracks.) If any leaks or cracks are found, please
contact your retailer or dealer immediately for replacement.
