Installation Instructions:
Do NOT allow water contact on any of the electrical components - may cause electrical shock.

• Fill the Nano Cube with water before plugging power cords into grounded outlets.
• The first plug will automatically start the circulation pump.
• The second plug controls the power to the lighting system.
• Flip the light switch to "ON" position located on top of the canopy to turn on Compact Fluorescent Lighting.

Nano Cube Maintenance:
Always unplug the pump and lighting power cords before performing any maintenance to prevent damage to the equipment.

MONTHLY

• Rinse out sponge filter (located in the rear of the aquarium) under sink faucet monthly and replace when necessary.
• Remove and replace activated carbon bag monthly. New bags should be rinsed under sink faucet before installing into filter compartment.
• Replace bulbs annually.
• Do NOT clean Ceramic Rings - this may harm beneficial bacteria.

SEMI-ANNUALLY

• Remove circulation pump located in the rear compartment and rinse impeller motor under sink faucet to dislodge debris and particulate matter.

ANNUALLY

• Remove screws from the splashguard lens and remove compact fluorescent lamp.
• Replace with new lamp and install splashguard lens.

Heater Placement

• A heater is not included with the Nano Cube. You will want to purchase a heater for tropical (75°-80°F) specimens that require warm tropical temperatures for survival.
• The heater can be placed inside the main body of the tank or in the rear compartment.
