Question about the IM MiniMax reactor. Maintaining the right flow level

Recommended Posts

So I have the MiniMax reactor. Works great in the sump area of the AIO Nuvo tank (or any other for that matter).

 

I watched the video that you adjust it by putting it in the main display, move it around so it tumbles gently (I use GFO), and then place it in the back.

 

When I need to replace the GFO, I pick it up, replace the GFO, rinse it, and then put it in the back.

 

But I don't know if I put it back the right way. I twist it to adjust the flow, but I can't see if the GFO is tumbling violently, or if at all. It's just too dark to see back there. It's also near the wall, so if I rip the black lining in the back, i won't be able to see.

 

Seems like a tough predicament. I just kind of have to guess how the flow is?

Small flash light kept in stand, planned for looking down in the back of my fusion.

 

 

Easier method. Put the reactor in a bucket and adjust the flow there- then when you're happy stick it in the tank!

Similar to what Harry Said MariineDepot did a video on adjusting the reactor and they suggested doing it in the Main Dispay portion so you could see the flow as well mark the correct depth it needed to be so when placing back into the refugiam area there was no guessing.
