Not suitable as a marine or reef setup — this range is built and filtered for freshwater nano keeping, and doesn't ship with the protein skimming or higher flow marine tanks generally need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the mechanical wool pad in tank water at a water change rather than tap water, so the filter bacteria on it survive. Bioscape sells replacement wool pads, Zeo-Carb cartridges and bio-cylinders separately by size, so routine filter maintenance doesn't mean replacing the whole unit — our Bioscape Nano Zeo\/Carbon Replacement Cartridges and Bioscape Nano Replacement Impeller cover the two most common service parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it come with a heater?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Nano Aquarium Unit includes the tank, light and filter only — a heater is a separate purchase, sized to the litre capacity you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it for a betta?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Bioscape markets all three sizes as suited to bettas, with the 24 L being the common choice for a single fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat filter media does it use, and how often do I change it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wool pad for mechanical filtration, a Zeo-Carb cartridge for chemical filtration, and bio-cylinders for biological filtration.
