Hi Waterbox,

I recently received my new 135.4. The crate came apart during shipping. I have seen a couple of reportable of this online, you may want to revisit the design. There is no obvious damage but i wanted to perform a leak test. I am not planning on actually setting up the aquarium until after a vacation later this summer.

Do you think i could fill the tank with water as it sits on the pallet?

Would you recommend that i move it to the floor?

We have some changes in place for shipping crates/pallets for future models. Sorry yours came apart in shipping, they are very well protected so fortunately it has not led to any issues with the aquariums. I would say you want to make sure the tank is on a fully level surface before leak testing so the pallet may not be your best bed. Floor that is level would be best.
