AQUARIUM CABINET INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, ensure you have sufficient people to move them without any risk.
ASSEMBLE THE AQUARIUM CABINET BEFORE REMOVING THE AQUARIUM FROM ITS PACKAGING.
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, pieces of furniture, TV stands, etc.,
WILL invalidate your warranty and will compromise the product safety.
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.
Placing the aquarium with its cabinet in the final location
Location of the aquarium is very important. Place the aquarium away from direct sunlight. This will reduce the risk of excessive algae build-up and avoid overheating the
aquarium by the sunrays. 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.
WARNING: Ensure that the selected position has an even and level surface which is able to support the total weight of the aquarium
full of water and the cabinet. Place your new Fluval Aquarium and cabinet close to an electrical outlet. After placing the cabinet,
assure that it is perfectly level by using an adequate leveling tool.
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).

THE AQUARIUM INSTALLATION
Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, ensure you have sufficient people to move them without any risk.
TAKE THE AQUARIUM TANK OUT FROM ITS PACKAGING
The aquarium glass tank comes with runners glued to it to support the LED Strip Lights and covers.
Do not try to remove the runners.
The tank is made of glass, always handle it with the utmost care. Make sure to lift it only by the base.
PLACE THE AQUARIUM TANK ONTO THE CABINET
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly clean the top side of the cabinet base and the lower side of the aquarium base.
Place the empty aquarium tank onto the cabinet, making sure that the connections
lie in the appropriate opening of the cabinet. NEVER place anything underneath
the aquarium. There should be NO additional support or lining (e.g., polystyrene mats)
between the aquarium and the cabinet.
WARNING: Risk of breaking the glass tank base.
The glass tank features protruding fittings at the bottom, which can never be used
as support points. Never try to lay the tank on any support except its cabinet, which
is fitted with a special cavity to accommodate the fittings. When placing the tank
onto its cabinet, remove the tank from the box and rest it on the cabinet paying
the utmost attention not to damage the bottom fittings.

Never attempt to move or transport the cabinet with the glass tank or any other load on top of it.
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 a visual inspection of the glass tank to check for damage or cracks.
Do not continue the installation if the tank is damaged.
2. If no damages and cracks are detected, proceed with the normal aquarium set up.
3. After the full installation of the aquarium kit with filter, heater, LED strip lights, decorations, etc.,
has been completed, fill the tank with water 2" (5 cm) at a time, while making sure there are no leaks.
Never attempt to move or transport the tank if it is not completely empty
of water or any other material.
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.
EASY CONNECTION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This section only applies to Fluval Aquariums with Fluval External filter and "EasyConnect" System.
INSTALLING WATER INTAKE/OUTPUT WITH "EASYCONNECT" SYSTEM
(Intake/output fittings are included in the filter packaging)
These Fluval Aquarium models feature the "EasyConnect" system, which allows the direct connection
of the tank to the external filter through the bottom glass by means of special fittings. Normally,
the same type of connection is achieved through specially made devices, which are complex and
require the intervention of expert technicians.
On the contrary, in just a few minutes the "EasyConnect" system can be easily and safely installed, giving your aquarium a
professional and tidy filtration solution.
Before proceeding, identify and count all parts required by referring to the exploded
view in the side illustration. If any part is missing, do not proceed with the installation
and contact your local supplier.
Before proceeding, check stems (A) for the presence of all 3 rubber rings (C). Do not proceed
with the installation if one of the rubber rings (C) is missing and contact your local supplier.

Rubber Rings (C)
Locate the 2 openings in the tank bottom glass and assure that the corresponding opening in the cabinet is aligned with them. The 2 openings in the tank bottom glass are
complete with factory-installed special plastic fittings, which must never be removed, turned, or loosened and with 2 sealing plugs (P) and (Q). The output group should be
installed in the opening (O), whereas the intake group should be installed in the opening (I).
Do not force, loosen or turn the factory-installed special
fittings on tank openings (I) and (O).
Once the output/intake groups are installed,
do not shift the tank with respect to the cabinet
as this may damage the output/intake devices
and the glass tank.
