Innovative Marine Minimax Media Reactor - Desktop

So far I have been running this reactor for 3 weeks and have not had any issues. I first ran pura gfo which is very chunky and it tubled no problem. I now am using it with phosguard and have nice fluid reaction. I don't see anything I can't put in it. The little pump still has plenty power to spare. It is the most compact reactor with pump I found. I have it now in aa jbj nanocube 28 and the rear chambers are one of the most limiting but this fits in even the next pocket next to the main overflow chamber. Get it.

The main product is great, but as some others mentioned the pump is terrible. It failed within two days, and i could feel the electricity through the main cord and the pump itself.Do yourself a favor and order a different pump.

i was looking for more compact reactor that takes less space/ compact for my 5G. So i bought this.One thing most reviews I notice was right, the pump looks like wont last long. You need to watch your 30 days return and mail warranty within 7 days.The major design flaw was, if you are not using this reactor in a rimless tank, you are screwed. It wont fit the tank edge. See attached photo,The bracket could have been made into a magnet and it will be perfect or it could have written down in the description so buyers are aware. I have read this in Q& A but there was no picture what they are taking about so its hard to understand.I paid a good price and was not fully satisfied so 1 STAR.

I think for the price, this is a steal. Now, I did however run into one of the instances of the pump not working as one of the other comments mentioned. I just had to give it a little tap, and it kicked on. I have a 25 gallon cube with a 10 gallon sump divided into 3 sections. This fits in the sump with ease, along with my skimmer, heater, return pump, and overflow piping. The biggest concern to me is the pump, but I think with routine maintenance (monthly) that it should last quite some time. It contains very few parts so cleaning as well should be very simple. I'll only be running bio pellets through it so I can't contest to running Carbon of GFO through it. I would definitely recommend this as a space saver, and less expensive approach to improving your tank quality in a nano environment.

The MiniMax is aptly named. Small enough to easily fit into my cramped 20 gal. cube and very efficient. The inner reaction cylinder lifts out for media changes without having to disturb other equipment. Flow adjustment is as easy as rotating the inner cylinder. The MiniMax is rediculously easy to use and charging it with SeaChem Matrix Carbon and Phosquard had an immediate and dramatic effect on the water clarity and even my skimmer collected less waste. To top it off, when I emailed Innovative Marine that my unit had arrived with a damaged clamp screw, to my surprise I received a phone call from one of their reps who promptly replaced it. Bottom line, outstanding product from a great company.

It arrived without a pump. I had a small Rio that I used instead works great. Moves bio media pellets the way it is supposed to. Great design for 29 gallon BioCube with sump.

No problem with unit, agitates media well (I use Seachem's Seagel in it.) Using it in a 29gal Biocube in the middle-chamber without an issue (I should note, I do NOT use the hood for this aquarium so don't know if there would be any clearance issues with that.)

pump failed in one month. they are selling it for $100 and they are putting the cheapest and dangerous pump.It was almost electrocuting me. I took out the pump from the tank water and was testing in a large cup.It was not moving and pumping anything, so I was going to shake it. I touched the water and felt the shake through my arm.Very nice quality control there!!!. I attached the picture. I cannot return it to amazon I missed the return timeline with few days.Hope company is a serious producer and responds to my complain.My advice to everyone, if the pump is not doing anything, just throw it. my real advice, don't order it.
