How to Check Your Fluval Aquarium for Handling Damage
Setting up a new aquarium can be an exciting endeavor. However, it’s crucial to ensure that the aquarium is in perfect condition before you begin the installation. This guide discusses how to check your Fluval aquarium for handling damage to prevent future issues. Why Checking for Damage is Important
Transporting or handling an aquarium can sometimes lead to unseen cracks, dents, or leaks. If your aquarium is damaged, it might cause problems such as leaks, which could lead to water damage in your home and harm the fish inside. Therefore, a thorough inspection before setting it up is essential. Steps to Inspect Your Aquarium
Visual Inspection:
Carefully examine the glass tank for any visible cracks or chips. Pay attention to the corners and edges, where damage is most likely to occur during transport. Make sure the tank’s base has no scratches or defects. Check the Seals:
Look closely at the silicone seals around the glass edges. They should be intact and free from any gaps. Inspect seals from the bottom as well; leaks typically originate from these areas.

Avoid Moving the Tank:
Do not attempt to move or lift the tank if it contains any water or other materials. Always ensure the tank is empty for transportation. What to Do if You Find Damage
Do Not Continue Installation: If you discover any damage or defects, do not proceed with your aquarium setup. Continuing with installation could exacerbate the issues. Contact Customer Service: Reach out to the retailer or Fluval customer service to report the issue. They can guide you through the warranty service for repairs or replacement. Ensure Proper Setup for Safety
Once your tank passes inspection, follow these tips for safe installation:
Assemble the Cabinet First: Always fully assemble the cabinet that will hold your aquarium before removing the aquarium from its packaging. This helps avoid accidental drops or scratches during setup. Place on the Right Surface: Your aquarium should only be placed on the designated Fluval cabinet. Using other surfaces or furniture can lead to additional pressure that could compromise the tank’s integrity. Level Surface: Ensure that the cabinet is on a perfectly level surface.
Distribución del peso
Es fundamental que el peso se reparta de manera uniforme cuando llenes el acuario con agua, piedras y decoraciones. Esto evita problemas y asegura que todo esté bien equilibrado.
Asegura todos los componentes
Antes de añadir el agua, conecta completamente todos los elementos, como el filtro y el calentador, siguiendo las instrucciones del fabricante al pie de la letra. Así evitarás sorpresas desagradables.
Precauciones eléctricas
Nunca olvides desconectar cualquier aparato eléctrico antes de meter las manos en el agua o hacer mantenimiento. Además, procura que los cables estén ubicados de forma que no puedan mojarse, para evitar accidentes.
