5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your terrarium stacker, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Side panels fall out or do not fit correctly.	Incorrect orientation of the stacker frame or panels.	Ensure the stacker frame is assembled with the correct top and bottom orientation. One track for the panels typically has a wider lip; this should be at the bottom. Re-insert panels carefully.
Stacker feels unstable after assembly.	Screws are not fully tightened or components are not properly aligned.	Check all assembly screws and tighten them securely. Ensure all frame pieces are correctly interlocked and aligned. Verify that the spacers are properly attached to the top surface.
Terrarium does not fit on the stacker.	Incorrect terrarium size or type.	Confirm your terrarium dimensions match the stacker's specifications (24" L x 18" W). This stacker is designed for front-opening terrariums and is not applicable to top-opening tanks.
