When installing an aquarium, it is necessary to pay special attention to the choice of a stand for it, since the service life of your aquarium directly depends on the correctly chosen stand. Installation on any surface that does not meet special requirements may distort the shape of the fish tank cabinet singapore, resulting in the formation of cracks along the walls or along the bottom, which can lead to even more unfortunate consequences. In this regard, it is highly undesirable to use household furniture as a stand for an aquarium.
- If you decide to use any other surfaces, make sure they meet the same mandatory requirements as the dedicated aquarium stands:
- The stand material is laminated chipboard. The use of laminated chipboard or other, looser material is unacceptable.
- Side and load-bearing walls should be located no more than every 40-50cm.
- For supports for aquariums larger than 100 liters, horizontal spacers (non-removable shelves) must be rigidly fixed between the side walls.
- The back wall of the aquarium stand should be made of chipboard, not fiberboard or other less durable material.
- If the dimensions of the stand exceed the calculated allowable parameters, or the aquarium has a significant weight, reinforced racks or a strong frame made of a metal profile, subsequently sheathed with traditional material, are required.
- Structural strength requires that the legs of the stand be located under each side and carrier stand, each of which must be a single piece from the tabletop to the lower base.
- The legs of the stand should be solid, reliable supports. It is dangerous to use wheel supports, as they do not give the necessary stability.
