Glass is a brittle material, and glass is also extremely susceptible to stress. In case of unevenness and especially in case of punctual loads, the pane may crack. Particularly dangerous: grains of sand or tiny stones under the bottom pane of the aquarium or an uneven surface. If there is tension in the glass, this can quickly cause cracks or fissures - something that should definitely be avoided in an aquarium filled with water!
Here in our online store, you can therefore buy a pad made of special material for your aquarium, the Aqua Pad from JBL. These aquarium pads are soft and flexible and thus easily compensate for small irregularities in the substrate under the aquarium.
Furthermore, they also have an insulating effect. Especially with a heated aquarium you can save energy and reduce the electricity bill.
The Aqua Pad aquarium carpet pad is available in the most common aquarium sizes. If you have a custom-made aquarium where the basic dimensions of the glass tank differ from the standard aquarium dimensions, the mat can easily be cut to size with scissors. When ordering, be sure to order a larger size!
The aquarium pad should be flush with the side windows of the aquarium.
