TheMiniMax Sump是创新海军陆战队的新媒体反应堆,这是一个有趣的概念。这款新设备及其新颖的操作是小型媒体反应堆的崭新方向,而且我们很快就非常喜欢它。
创新的海洋始终特别专注于一个水族馆,其最小反应堆以其悬挂式外形为其进行了优化。我们喜欢原始的最小反应堆是通过简单地将内部腔室从反应堆中抬出反应堆,而无需拔下任何东西,就可以轻松维修它。
嵌套套筒的组合也存在于Minimax污水池上,使用户既可以更改媒体,又可以通过简单的扭曲来拨动流量。Minimax Reactor的最大改进是,更宽的尺寸使其更适合在水族馆下使用。
When we used the long and skinny original MiniMax, in some short stands it was a tricky affair to pull the sleeve all the way out. Also the hang-on form factor was not especially steady standing up, nor was it meant to me, but the wider footprint of the MiniMax Sump completely rectifies this.
同样,这似乎是一个小细节,但是Minimax污水反应堆配备了仅从底座中抽出的动力头。这是与中型Minimax反应堆配对的泵,但创新的海军陆战队本来可以随着不同的设计而偶然地消失,但事实并非如此。
这意味着该反应堆即使在没有绘画空气的情况下,甚至在最低的水位水位上运行。而且,尽管您可以通过扭曲反应堆的内部套筒来调整流量,如果您想要较低的流速,也可以调整进料泵的流速。
另外,起初似乎很短的小室含有太多的媒体,较宽的直径实际上具有比您想象的要大的看法。380 mL腔室足以反应适当剂量的活性碳,GFO或Biopellets,以超过100加仑的礁箱。
Some readers may disagree but our chemical filtration philosophy is to use less and change it more often. The small footprint is also ideal for placement in tight sumps, and we could see it being more practical to have several of these with different medias in a large sump, rather than have one bulky and hard to service media reactor.
At first we weren’t sold on the dual O-rings used to secure the lid of the inner sleeve. Surely one o-ring is enough to make a tight fit, but the added snug fit is important for turning the inner sleeve to adjust flow rate, without which you might just spin the lid without turning the sleeve itself.
The final subtle but important improvement that the MiniMax Reactor has over its predecessor is an improved flow adjustment design. Before you could spin the inner sleeve of the MiniMax freely, and sometimes it was hard to know whether you were rotating towards higher or lower flow.
With the new MiniMac Sump reactor, a mechanism only allows a certain degree of rotation towards maximum or minimum flow. This way you’ll always know how it is set, without having to actually see the alignment of the exit holes.
With all these improvements, there’s no doubt that the MiniMax Sump reactor is one of the best that you can get. Surely some GFO and Carbon-happy reefers will opt for a reactor with a larger volume, but for most of us, the capacity of the MiniMax Sump reactor is more than enough.
It’s quite a delight to see Innovative Marine translating some of their best work in All in One aquariums to use under the sump. With Innovative Marine having made a big mark on all aspects of the AIO market, we have to wonder if the company is branching out into reef ready tanks and reef gear, if so, theminimax污水反应堆is a step in the right direction.
