I can confirm that the crate my ATO tank came in was well protected and well secured with staples / nails.

Agreed my tank and sump took me like 2 hours to unbox … Would rather it extra protected then less but holy crap someone loves a screw gun and staple gun !

thanks for the replies guys, i'll have everything opened and unboxed myself. i'll just need an expert to help me set up, as for the glue part i'm not sure if it will be needed or not? so of course if there is a glue situation then i wouldn't be putting in water all that quick.

I'll help you.

Send me a PM, lets discuss what you plan on doing. This can be a scary hobby to enter, i can help you take some of that fear away.

A bit of detritus added to your aquarium would help seed it.

There's lots of misleading info out there. I've made a lot of the newbie mistakes. I'd be happy to help you avoid them.

Cheers-MM
