STEP 1. POSITIONING THE AQUARIUM
Your Aqua-Pro Reef aquarium when filled will be
very heavy!
You must establish a suitable position and ensure
that the floor or cabinet which you are installing it
on is suitable for the weight of the tank, water and
substrates without deforming or collapsing. Specific
Aqua-Pro cabinets are available and designed to
support your aquarium properly. If you are uncertain
that your floor will be strong enough, or requires
support, please take professional advice.
If the aquarium is not being positioned on a specific
Aqua-Pro cabinet care must be taken to ensure the
surface is flat and level. Failure to do so may cause
the aquarium to crack or the silicone joints to fail
over time.
We recommend that any aquarium should be
positioned out of direct sunlight and away from a
static heat source, such as a radiator.
When positioning it is important to have enough
people to safely move the aquarium. Jewellery that
could potentially scratch the glass or cabinet finish
should be removed prior to moving any aquarium
or cabinet.
D-D Aqua-Pro Reef Systemised Aquarium
Please read the following installation instructions carefully before starting to assemble and run your
aquarium. If correctly installed, your new aquarium should give you years of pleasure in this fantastic
and enthralling hobby.
IMPORTANT: Aquarium care
The Aqua-Pro Reef aquarium cabinet is designed as a piece of furniture and is water resistant and not waterproof,
requiring care and attention.
It is important that any water spillage or standing water is wiped up immediately to prevent damage to the board or
edging which would not be covered under warranty.
Chemical products should not be used to clean the aquarium or cabinet as they may be toxic to aquatic life.
To avoid scratches when cleaning the glass do not use abrasive materials and take care when using bladed cleaners.

STEP 2 LEVELLING THE CABINET
To ensure long term stability of your aquarium once it is
filled, it is of paramount importance that the cabinet and
tank are correctly levelled. This ensures that there is no
stress on the glass and that the doors will hang square.
Preparation
Ensure that the area where the tank is to be installed
is clear so that you have plenty of space for access
and adjustment. The cabinet should be initially levelled
without the tank and sump installed and we recommend
that you remove the quick release doors for better
access by pressing the lever at the back of each hinge.
Cabinet Types
Two different cabinet versions are available for some
sizes in the Aqua-Pro Aquarium range, wooden cabinets
and metal framed cabinets.

Checking the aquarium on arrival
Transport damage – your aquarium will arrive fully
protected and should be carefully unwrapped and
checked for any damage.
You must check the aquarium
and report any transport damage to your retailer within
12 hours of delivery
.
Ensure that there are no missing or damaged parts.
Report any issues to your retailer within 24 hours and
do not fill the aquarium.
Although the tanks are cleaned prior to packing we
recommend using a soft sponge and clean water to
wipe the inside of the sump and aquarium before setup
to remove any residue dust or debris.
