Fluval Nano Internal Filter

Maintain optimal water quality in small aquariums without compromising aesthetics. The Fluval Nano Internal Aquarium Filter allows discreet in-tank placement while providing essential water movement and filtration. Swiveling spray bar with flow-control valve provides gentle streams and can be positioned to ensure surface water movement essential for proper aquarium oxygenation. Easy-to-use aquarium filter is equipped with media for effective mechanical and biological filtration.

Bio-Foam captures debris and houses nitrifying bacteria and Fine Foam traps small debris. Use optional Carbon Cartridge (sold separately) for chemical filtration that effectively adsorbs odors, discoloration and impurities. The Fluval Nano Internal Aquarium Filter is ideal for aquariums up to 15 gallons housing delicate fish or ornamental shrimp. Measures 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 7-1/2" high (8-3/4" x 1-1/2" x 8" high with spray bar attached).

• Separate Motor Housing from Fluval Nano Filter Case.
• Rinse all filter media (in filtration housing) thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear. Fill filtration housing with water. Reconnect motor and filtration housing.
• Install Fluval Nano. To secure the filter, simply press the suctioned side against clean aquarium glass.
• Adjust swiveling Spray Bar to desired position. Note: Direct Spray Bar outlet towards the water surface. This will provide beneficial surface water movement that ensures proper oxygenation of aquarium water.

Maintenance
Important: Unplug unit before performing maintenance.

To ensure optimum filter performance, regular cleaning of filter and parts is recommended at least every four weeks. Do not use soap, detergents or any other non-recommended cleaning agents around an aquarium. After cleaning, always rinse with cold water. For best results, perform the following maintenance procedures as explained.

Mechanical Filtration Fine Foam
As dirt collects on the Fine Foam, the cartridge will gradually become clogged. Water flow slows and will eventually stop. Periodically rinse the Fine Foam in cold running water to remove large particles. Replace the mechanical Fine Foam every 21 days or as needed.

Chemical Filtration Carbon Cartridge
Carbon loses effectiveness over time. Replace your chemical filtration Carbon Cartridge at least every 21 days. If water flow through the cartridge becomes restricted or odor or water discoloration develops, change the Carbon Cartridge immediately.

Biological Filtration Bio-Foam
The Bio-Foam should not be removed during routine maintenance of other components. Removal can damage the beneficial bacteria colonies. Important note: Do not change the Bio-Foam at the same time that you change the Fine Foam and Carbon Cartridge. This is necessary to preserve the culture of beneficial bacteria growing on the Bio-Foam.
