Fitting the mat correctly

Measure the base of your aquarium before ordering: the mat should match the footprint of the tank, and if your tank is smaller than 50 x 100cm, trim it to size with a sharp knife so it does not overhang the cabinet edge. Check the stand with a spirit level first, as padding smooths out small bumps or grit but cannot correct a cabinet that slopes. Some aquariums with a moulded bottom frame are designed to stand without a mat, so follow the tank maker’s guidance. Position the mat, then the empty tank, and only then begin filling.

Good to know

Choose a mat that matches the base of your aquarium, and make sure the stand itself is level.
