A. If the appliance falls into water, DON’T reach for it! First un-
plug it and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the
appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should
not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be
wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in
any manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance
plug or receptacle getting wet, position
aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall
mounted receptacle to prevent water from
dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip
loop”, shown in the Figure at the right should
be arranged by the user for each cord con-
necting an aquarium appliance to a recepta-
cle. The ”drip loop” is that part of the cord be-
low the level of the receptacle or the con-
nector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water travel along the cord and coming in contact with the re-
ceptacle. (Continued on pg. 4)
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken
since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For
each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair your-
self: return the appliance to an authorized service facility for ser-
vice or discard the appliance.

It is important to keep this hood appliance clean. Always un-
plug the appliance before performing maintenance or clean-
ing of the exterior of this hood. Wipe exposed surfaces care-
fully with a damp terrycloth to remove any dust or mineral
deposits which may collect over time. Make sure all surfaces
are dry before re-plugging into an electrical outlet. To prevent
scratching the aquarium, use a damp terrycloth when clean-
ing. Never use algae scrapers, scouring pads, razor blades,
glass cleaner or other such abrasives.

Mechanical Filtration:
Filter Sponge traps free floating particulate matter and debris.
Chemical Filtration:
Activated Carbon bag removes dissolved organics and odor.
Biological Filtration:
Ceramic Ring bag provides internal/external surface area for
housing beneficial bacteria to oxidize harmful ammonia and
nitrite that accumulate in the aquarium from fish wastes, over-
feeding, and normal biological processes.
*Note: Ceramic Ring bag can be removed if using this Nano-
Cube as a mini-reef aquarium. Maintaining an average of 1lb
per gallon of live rock will create a live biological filtration sys-
tem as well as denitrification system ultimately creating a bal-
anced biotope.
Submersible Pumps:
Included with flexible hose and elbow connector.

Heater Placement (not included)
A submersible heater should be
placed in the designated heater col-
umn. This column ALWAYS has a con-
stant water level to keep the heater
submerged and to prevent breakage.
Most tropical fish and corals prefer a
range between 74-80F. Please consult
with your aquarium professional for
specific needs of the animals you intend to keep.
Once the water is filtered
and heated, the water is re-
directed back into the aquar-
ium via (2) directional flow
nozzles and wavemaker.
The dual return pumps
along with the wavemaker
recreate the natural turbu-
lent currents normally associated with reef environments.
The Ocean Pulse Wavemaker can
be adjusted from 10 Seconds to 6
minute intervals. This alternating
cycle will keep detritus from accu-
mulating, provides oxygen, re-
moves waste from coral polyps
and provides the optimal environ-
ment for corals to flourish.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Never attempt to move a full or partially full Nano-Cube.
Never lift by grabbing the aquarium frame
Never use cleaners that contain ammonia to clean the glass sur-
faces. Always lift and carry the Nano-Cube from underneath
giving support to the bottom at all times.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
A. With a Nano-Cube Stand
1. Find a leveled surface and place Nano-Cube on top of
stand before filling with water. Make sure that no part of the
tank is overhanging the stand.
B. Without a Nano-Cube Stand
1. Find a leveled surface that can support the weight of
the tank, water, and livestock. An average aquarium can weigh
10lbs per gallon once filled with water, rock, gravel, and other
accessories.
2. Do not place in direct sunlight to prevent excessive
algae growth and higher water temperatures.
FILLING THE TANK
Always dechlorinate tap water before adding into the aquari-
um. Always fill with room temperature water.
Rinse Activated Carbon which is located in the rear filter com-
partment under the sink for 30 seconds or until water runs
clear.
Fill the main body of the Nano-Cube until water flows through
the overflow grill into the rear filter chamber. Once the rear filter
chamber is full, plug pumps into an approve house surge pro-
tector or the Ocean Pulse Wavemaker. Once pumps are on,
water will flow from the rear filter chamber through the direc-
tional flow nozzles into the main body of the Nano-Cube. Ad-
just accordingly to desired flow position.
