3. Safety Information
- Anti-Tipping Device: To prevent accidental tipping and potential injury, this product must be secured to a wall using an appropriate anti-tipping device. This device is not included with the stand and must be purchased separately.
- Weight Capacity: Ensure that the total weight of your aquarium (including water, gravel, decorations, and equipment) does not exceed the stand's maximum weight capacity. Overloading can lead to structural failure.
- Level Surface: Always place the aquarium stand on a flat, level, and stable surface to ensure even weight distribution and prevent instability.
- Water Spills: Particle board is resistant to humidity but not waterproof. Promptly wipe away any water spills to prevent material damage and warping.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the stand during assembly. Do not allow children to climb on or play near the stand, especially when an aquarium is in place.
