Select a good looking and strong stand: There is a wide variety of fish-tank stands available. So look for a stand that you like but make sure that it will be able to take the weight of the tank (an established 30 litre tank can weigh up to 45kg with gravel/sand and other decorations). Try to find a stand with an enclosed cabinet which will hide the lot of electrical wires and equipments. An aquarium is a big investment in both time, money and bear in mind that once installed this is something that you wouldn't replace easily, so purchasing a good quality fish-tank stand that suits your home’s style can save you a lot of effort changing it later. Stands with matching hoods are available that further enhance the aesthetics of your aquarium.

Location of your aquarium: Take extra precaution while selecting the aquarium location. Try to avoid places near to an air-conditioner or a room heater that can fluctuate the water temperature widely. Avoid noisy/busy areas such as next to entrances, television sets, speakers, etc., which can disturb your peace loving fish. If you are selecting a very big aquarium and you do not live on the ground floor then it is always best to place a tank along a wall, where floor supports are usually greater, rather than in the middle of a room. Keeping aquarium too close to a window may encourage growth of unwanted algae and may over heat the tank. Remember you will need electrical points near to your aquarium otherwise you have to use some extension cable for the power supply. Though not necessary keeping your aquarium near to a water source will make your life easy while changing water as I will recommend to change 5% to 10% of water every week.
