It comes with a built-in power filter, a low-voltage LED light bar and a 25 W heater, so a first tropical nano setup needs little beyond substrate, decor, livestock and a stand rated for its filled weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHalf-moon front\u003c\/strong\u003e — bowed, rimless glass gives a wider, less distorted view than a flat-fronted nano tank of the same footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e — an internal power filter rated at 300 L\/h keeps water moving through mechanical and biological media without a separate canister or hang-on unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-voltage LED lighting\u003c\/strong\u003e — a 15 x 0.06 W, 12 V DC LED bar lights the display without adding meaningfully to running costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in heater\u003c\/strong\u003e — a 25 W solid-state heater is fitted into the unit, so tropical stocking doesn't need a separate heater bought and fitted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 mm rimless glass\u003c\/strong\u003e — a clean, bead-free look with no top or bottom trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 35 x 22 x 25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 mm, rimless, half-moon front\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in internal power filter, rated 300 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED, 15 x 0.06 W, 12 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 W, solid-state\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240 V AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit your space?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt roughly 35 x 22 x 25 cm and 12 L filled, this suits a desktop, benchtop or shelf rather than a floor-standing display.

Not suitable for marine or reef stocking — this unit is sold and specified as a freshwater tropical aquarium — and not suitable for fish that need more swimming room than a 12 L footprint allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the internal filter media in tank water (never tap water) when it starts to clog, rather than on a fixed calendar — how often depends on stocking and feeding. Wipe the curved front with a soft pad rather than a razor scraper; blades are made for flat glass and can mark a bowed panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuns on 220-240 V AC, suiting the Australian 230 V\/50 Hz supply.
