Aquarium Glass Tank Instructions - Fluval Roma Instruction Manual

AQUARIUM GLASS TANK INSTRUCTIONS

Read thoroughly prior to installation
The Fluval Aquarium glass tank comes complete with bottom and top plastic frames glued to it. Do not try to
remove top and bottom frames.
Although the glass tank was manufactured with the maximum care and the most advanced techniques, we still
recommend making a simple inspection prior to the installation to verify that unexpected events during handling
and transportation have not damaged the tank or impaired its water-tightness.
1. Make an initial visual inspection of the glass tank to check for damage or cracks.
2. If the visual inspection does not show any damage, fill the tank with 5cm (2") of water, wait 10 minutes and
check for leaks.
3. Add another 5cm (2") and repeat this process until you are sure there is no sign of any leak.
4. If no leak is detected, proceed with the normal aquarium set up.
The tank is made of glass, always handle it with the utmost care. Make sure to lift it by the base, never
by the top frame.
Never attempt to move or transport the tank if it is not completely empty of water or any other material.
Before handling the Aquarium tank and cabinet, ensure you have sufficient manpower to move them
without any risk.
Always take care not to damage the seals at the edges of the glass panels while maintaining your
aquarium, ie; with planters or algae scrapers.
Never use toxic or aggressive substances to clean your aquarium, such as household detergents.

AQUARIUM CABINET INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
Placing the aquarium with its cabinet in the final location
Please refer to the instruction manual of the aquarium cabinet. Do not attempt to set up the cabinet without
reading and following the instruction manual. If it is missing or unusable, contact the store or Hagen Customer
Service.
Location of the aquarium is very important. Place the aquarium away from direct sunlight. This will reduce
the risks of excessive algae build-up and avoid overheating the aquarium by the sun's rays. Keep your Fluval
Aquarium away from other sources of heat (air ducts, radiators, etc.) for proper temperature maintenance. Drafts
should also be avoided. Do not locate your Fluval Aquarium where water spills will cause damage.
You MUST place the Fluval aquarium on the appropriate Fluval cabinet which was designed with the
correct dimensions and structure to bear the weight of the aquarium full of water. The use of different
cabinets, articles of furniture, TV stands, etc. WILL invalidate your guarantee and will compromise the
product safety.
IMPORTANT: Fluval cabinets are designed to support the total weight of the aquarium. The table below shows
the approx. height of filling of the tank and approx. weight of the aquarium full of water (rocks, decorations or
gravel have not been considered).

close to an electrical outlet. After placing the cabinet, assure that it is perfectly level by using an
adequate level.
IMPORTANT: Place the aquarium tank directly on the cabinet without any additional support or damper
in between. NEVER insert any lining (e.g. Polystyrene) between cabinet and aquarium.
Never attempt to move or transport the cabinet with the glass tank or any
other load on top of it.
