Aquarium Set Up

Setting up a saltwater tank at home is somewhat more complicated than a freshwater aquarium. Following standard procedures will simplify the process and position new aquarists for success.

When selling an aquarium to a first-time hobbyist, you should carefully review the process to set up and maintain the tank. Go through each piece of equipment, making sure to remove the filters and powerheads to show the customer how to take them apart and reassemble them after cleaning.

Always provide any relevant care sheets so the customer can refer to them at home and recommend books that may help. Don’t forget to stress the importance of reading all instruction manuals to understand how to use and maintain equipment, particularly the filters and powerheads.
