Tank failures

All of these posts about tank failures are making me anxious to set up an aquarium. I have a 6 year old nuvo 10 I am wanting to set up. What should I check before I set it up to minimize the chance of a tank failure?

Always do a water/leak test before fully establishing a tank. This involves filling a tank with water and looking for any signs of leaks or integrity issues in your tank. Check around the bottom middle part of your tank; this is a common spot for seams to burst in tanks.

I wouldn't be nervous about it and would go ahead and start up your tank again!

Good idea! I’ll make sure I do a fill test before I set it up for real
