2 Location
The first step in setting up the MAX
®
NANO is to choose
a suitable location.
Electric Supply
Ensure that the electric power supply outlet used for the MAX
®
NANO
is correctly rated for the system (75W), plus whatever additional
equipment (such as a heater) you plan on adding. The power supply
outlet must be grounded and connected to a circuit protected by a
RCD/RCCB (residual current device or residual current circuit breaker)
also known as a GFI/GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter).
Floor
The floor directly below the legs must be level and rated for a static
loading of at least 14kg/cm
2
(200 lbs/square inch).
Room temperature
Site selection is important for correct temperature maintenance.
We recommend that you keep the ambient room temperature a
comfortable and stable 22°C / 72°F. Avoid placing the tank in front of
an air conditioner, heating vents or direct sunlight. A well ventilated
room with moderate light is the best place to position the aquarium.
Accessibility
•
Back
: Ensure that there is at least 10cm (4") of clearance behind the
MAX
®
to allow for sufficient air circulation for a chiller and general ease
of operation.
•
Sides (Rear)
: Ensure that there is sufficient room (approximately
60cm/24”) between both sides of the aquarium and any adjacent walls
or furniture for access to the rear of the tank. This is required for the
regular maintenance of the surface skimmer, protein skimmer, flow
pump and filter media as well as installing/removing cables to the
Pump Switch-box.
General considerations
Ensure that the area surrounding the aquarium is waterproof and
consider moving away anything that water might damage or which may
be corroded by salt.
