Description

AquaOne AquaNano 60:

Technical Specifications and Operations Manual

• Total Volume: 100 Litres
• Dimensions: 60cm (Width) x 40cm (Depth) x 47cm (Height)
• Glass Thickness: 6mm high-clarity float glass
• Lighting: High-output RGB LED (approx. 24W–30W depending on revision)
• Filtration: Integrated multi-stage rear sump
• Heating: 150W Glass Heater

• Chamber 1 (Intake): Water enters through the surface skimmer and lower intake. This chamber typically houses the coarse filter sponge (15ppi) for mechanical waste removal.
• Chamber 2 (Biological): This central area is designed for high-surface-area media. It comes standard with Aqua One Ceramic Noodles to facilitate the growth of nitrifying bacteria.
• Chamber 3 (Return): Houses the 150W heater and the return pump. By placing the heater here, the main display remains free of clutter while ensuring warmed water is circulated evenly.

1. Placement: Ensure the aquarium is placed on a dedicated Aqua Nano 60 Cabinet or a surface capable of supporting over 130kg (accounting for water, glass, and substrate).
2. Leveling: The tank must be perfectly level to prevent stress on the silicone joints.
3. Filtration Preparation: Remove all filter media from their plastic packaging. Rinse the ceramic noodles and sponges in cool tap water to remove dust before placing them back into the rear chambers.
4. Electrical Safety: Ensure all cables have a drip loop (a loop in the cable below the level of the power socket) to prevent water from travelling down the cord into the mains.

• Water Chemistry: Weekly testing for Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate is essential. Aim for 0ppm Ammonia/Nitrite and <20ppm Nitrate.
• Pump Maintenance: Every 3 months, remove the impeller from the return pump and clean it with a soft brush to remove limescale and debris. This prevents motor burnout.
• Evaporation: The rear chambers will show a drop in water level before the main display does. Top up with dechlorinated water regularly to ensure the pump does not run dry.
• LED Care: Keep the clear plastic splash guard clean of salt creep or limescale to ensure maximum light penetration for live plants.

• Community Fish: A school of 10–12 Tetras or Rasboras, and a pair of Dwarf Cichlids.
• Aquascaping: Highly suited for high-tech planted setups due to the depth of the tank and the intensity of the LED unit.
