N-Clear Nano · Main
Automatic fleece filtration for your AIO aquarium
The N-Clear Nano is an automatic fleece roller filter for compatible 10–50 gal (38–190 L) AIO aquariums. The fleece advances as it collects debris, reducing routine filter-sock or pad changes.

- Compact body with tank-specific adapter options
- Single or synchronized dual-filter operation
- For freshwater and saltwater aquariums

Supported Tanks

Setup & Usage Notes
- Before installing or cleaning
Disconnect power before installation, removal, or cleaning. Keep the controller, power adapter, and electrical connections dry.
- Installation
Follow the manual to install the filter and set the sensor with clean fleece and normal return flow. Read the Nano installation manual →
- Fleece rolls
Please do not use third-party fleece rolls. Differences in roll length, width, and thickness can place significantly different loads on the motor. Improper rolls can damage the motor and body, and any resulting damage will void the warranty.
- Adapter water bypass
A small amount of water may flow around the adapter, as it does with traditional filter-media baskets. This minor bypass is acceptable and does not significantly affect overall filtration efficiency.
Warranty & Support
One-year limited warranty. Buy directly from Nature Dimensions for an additional six months of coverage, for 18 months total.
