SAFETY PRECAUTION
The aquarium may only be transported when empty.
Aquarium cover (1.2)
The transparent cover is simply placed on the upper
glass edge of the aquarium. The rectangular gap should
be positioned underneath the lamp head of the sera
Nano LED light. The cover can be conveniently re
moved with a single grip for feeding, maintenance or
water changes.
Connecting the power supply
Attach the sera Nano LED light in a central position at
the back side of the aquarium (back side of the three
chamber internal filter) to the upper glass edge by means
of the clip holder (see separate description). Connect the
barrel connector of the ballast to the plug of the sera
Nano LED light. You can now switch on the lighting at
the rotary switch of the dimmer integrated in the clip
holder.
3 chamber internal filter (2)
The filter system of the sera Biotop Nano LED
Cube 16 is already firmly installed at the back of the
aquarium. Please nevertheless check that all elements
are firmly seated.
First chamber
The water flows into the filter system through the over
flow grid (2.1) located at the back left. For proper opera
tion of the 3 chamber internal filter, the water level must
always be 2 cm (0.8 in.) above the bottom edge of the
overflow grid.
Water must be topped up in case the water level is
lower!
Lacking water makes the water surface inside the
3 chamber filter sink until the filter pump begins to run
dry and does not agitate any water any more in case of
continuing lack of water.
One big black filter sponge (2.2) is located in the first
chamber.
From here, the entering water flows through an upstream
duct (2.3) into the second chamber.
Second chamber
A small black filter sponge (2.4) is located at the bot
tom of the bio filter chamber. The biological filter me
dium sera siporax mini Professional is placed on top
of it in an included filter media bag (2.5). sera siporax
mini Professional does not only provide a scientifical
ly proven ideal surface of 270 m
medium but also includes a tunnel system present in
side the filter medium that allows for permanent growth
of filter bacteria. 1 liter (US quart) sera siporax mini
Professional provides as much settling space for bacte
ria as, for instance, 34 liters (9 US gal.) of clay filter ma
terial.

Third chamber
The filter pump (2.6) is placed on the bottom. It
creates water flow (agitation) within the entire system
and pumps the back into the aquarium via the spray bar
(2.9) attached on the outside. The spray bar is freely ro
tatable, and its openings should be directed in a way re
sulting in a smooth and even water current.
The sera filter pump FP 150 (2.6, 3) is connected to the
spray bar (2.9) via a hose (2.7) and a curve pipe (2.8) in
side the filter system. This pump (3.1) can be adjusted by
turning the rotary knob at the intake grid (3.2). At maxi
mum position, the pump delivers approximately 150 l/h
(40 US gph). This flow rate can be reduced steplessly by
turning the knob in the opposite direction.
Cleaning the filter pump:
Depending on the intensity of the biofilm growing inside
the internal filter, we recommend cleaning the sera filter
pump FP 150 every few months. Please disconnect the
pump (4.1) from the mains supply first to do so and pull
it out of the filter chamber by the outlet hose. Pull off the
intake grid (4.4) and the pump chamber cover (4.3) lo
cated underneath. The now open pump chamber is lo
cated underneath. You can now remove the rotor (4.2)
for cleaning purposes and clean it under running water.
Assembly takes place in reverse order.
When everything is installed properly and functions well,
you may start setting up the sera Biotop Nano LED
Cube 16. The sera guides provide detailed information
about:
• Introducing the animals
• Suggestions for complete biotopes
• Water care
• Function of filtration
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Before using the unit, please make sure that frequency
and voltage of the mains supply comply with the fre
quency and voltage indicated on the type plate.
• Do not lift or carry electric devices by the mains cord.
• Pull all power/mains plugs before working inside the
aquarium.
• Immediately disconnect all devices from the power/
mains supply in the event of damage to the devices or
the power/mains cord. Do not operate!
• Slight color alteration caused by light irradiation (es
pecially UV light) is normal. Do not place in direct sun
light.
