Step 1: Prepare the Aquarium
To get the aquarium ready:

Clean the tank with freshwater and a soft cloth or sponge.
Apply a background, if you plan to do so.
Put the stand into place and level it, being sure to leave clearance for electrical connections and equipment.
Set the tank in place with an underpad for cushioning underneath, and level the tank.
Prepare all the equipment to be used and install it.
