III. UNPACKING AND PRELIMINARY CHECKS
a. Open the packaging.
b. Take out the aquarium, handling it with care;
c. Place the aquarium on a smooth flat surface;
d. Dispose of the packaging materials in compliance with current regulations in the country of disposal;
The NEWA Ego aquarium has been packaged so that it can withstand normal knocks and pressures during transport. However,
excessive knocks or incorrect handling may cause damage to the aquarium therefore we recommend you follow these warnings
in order to check that the tank is watertight:
• Place the tank on a dry horizontal surface, on a layer of fabric sheeting or sheets of newspaper.
• Fill the tank with water and carefully check each side. Check that there are no leaks by wiping along the outer edges of the glass
panel couplings with a dry cloth (Fig. 3).
• If there are leaks, take the aquarium to the dealer so that it can be carefully checked or replaced.
WARNING: do not empty the aquarium by lifting or tilting it, as it may break! (Fig. 4).
IV. WHERE TO POSITION THE AQUARIUM
WARNING: carefully read and strictly follow these instructions.
a. Position the aquarium (tank and base) on a solid support, which is appropriate for bearing the maximum intended weight of
the aquarium (see technical data), with a smooth, clean and level support surface.
b. Check that the support surface is perfectly horizontal; otherwise the water level in the aquarium will tilt.
c. Do not position the aquarium on tilting surfaces.
d. Position the aquarium near at least a couple or more power sockets, following the safety instructions.
e. Position the aquarium away from sources of heat and cold draughts such as stoves, radiators, fireplaces and windows (Fig. 5).
f. Do not position the aquarium near a television, radio or other electrical appliances that should be protected from splashes of water.
WARNING: direct or diffused yet intense sunlight (rooms with many windows) encourage the hypertrophic growth of algae,
which can prevent the growth of plants higher up and jeopardise the biological balance of the aquarium. The correct amount of
light should only be provided by the lighting system in the aquarium.
