Location
The first step in setting up the MAX is to choose a suitable location.
The location should be decided upon in advance because, once
filled with substrate, rocks and water, the aquarium must not be
moved. Consider the following parameters when choosing the
location.
Tank weight and support
The tank weighs about 200kg / 440lbs when filled with water,
Reef Base and live rock. If you choose not to use the MAX Cabinet,
consider this weight when selecting an alternative aquarium
support or stand. If the support you choose is not designed
specifically as an aquarium stand, ensure that it can both withstand
the weight and that it remains balanced and level; it should also
be constructed from a material that is splash proof.
The MAX, like all glass aquaria, may crack if subjected to sudden
movement as a result of uneven water pressure on the glass
walls.
