Aquariums introduce water, power leads and sometimes narrow cabinet recesses. Keep the robot's route away from spill-prone and electrically crowded areas.

A practical checklist
- Route cables and drip loops according to the equipment maker's guidance.
- Exclude areas where maintenance can leave water on the floor.
- Check cabinet clearance without disturbing the aquarium stand.
What this looks like at home
After a water change, pause the cleaning schedule until the surrounding floor and cable area are safe and dry.
Make the route predictable
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Floor-level objects | Lift leads, strings and loose fabric. |
| Narrow gaps | Check entry, turning and escape space. |
| Protected areas | Use suitable boundaries around hazards. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not let a robot pull aquarium leads or collect spilled tank water.
