1) It states that I should not use an airstones, here is the exact
statement:
The use of additional air stones or air lines is not necessary with
the Juwel Aquariums. If an air stone is used, this should always be
placed in the middle of the aquarium. Capillary leaks resulting from
the use of these items will not be accepted as a fault the aquarium.
What is a capillary leak?
2) I bought some Juwel background that are attached to the back of
the tank using silicone glue. Are these ok?

Any advice most welcome. |
Hi, a capillary leak/creep is where water seeps over the rim of the fish tank and down the back, you would probably not notice it as it would be a very small amount but enough to make you think the tank is leaking when you notice the water underneath the front of the aquarium. Using air stones can make this problem worse especially if the air stones are at the back of the aquarium. hope this answers your question.
