Overview of the MAX
®
NANO filtration and
circulation system
The MAX ® NANO rear sump has a complete multistage filtration system
consisting of a REEF-SPEC
®
protein skimmer, activated carbon and
mechanical filtration materials.
Water circulation in the aquarium and sump is approximately 12
times the entire water volume per hour with forced flow through the
mechanical and chemical filter media while the protein skimmer treats
the water at the SPS spec of approximately 3 times per hour.
The water flows from the aquarium to the rear sump via a detachable
surface skimmer that directs the organics laden water from the upper
surface of the main tank into the rear sump.
From the surface skimmer the water is immediately channeled through a
micron filter bag before entering the skimmer chamber. If the filter bag
is not cleaned frequently enough and becomes blocked, the water will
bypass the micron filter without affecting the overall operation of the
rear sump.
After the skimmer chamber the water is positively drawn through
the REEF-SPEC
®
carbon and the bubble stripping sponge filter by the
circulation pump located at the bottom of the sump, that returns the
filtered water back to the aquarium through a multidirectional outlet
nozzle. When the pumps are running, the water in the aquarium will be
maintained at approximately 2.5cm (1”) below the rim.
To maintain a constant water height in the system the MAX
®
NANO includes
an automatic Top-Off system with a 1.5 liter freshwater reservoir which
should be enough to compensate for about 2 days of evaporation. The rear
sump will continue to run efficiently even after evaporation of approximately
1 liter (with an insignificant rise in salinity) and therefore the MAX
®
NANO
should run for at least 3 days without adding water to the system.
6.1 Protein Skimmer:
The MAX
®
NANO protein skimmer
consists of three parts: skimmer
body, collection cup and skimmer
pump.
Familiarize yourself with the
skimmer pump by disassembling and
reassembling all of the component
parts. Ensure that the impeller
chamber cover is correctly positioned
and properly secured by the bayonet
ring. Before use check that the pump
and power cable are not damaged.
Diagram key :
a. Skim adjuster
b. Venturi inlet
c. Air pipe
d. Small air pipe
Assemble the skimmer as shown in the diagram.
1. Set the skim adjuster to its lowest position.
2. Connect the air pipe from the venturi inlet of the skimmer pump to
the outlet of the silencer.
3. Connect the small air pipe on the inlet of the silencer.
4. An optional air valve is provided for use with the skimmer. Initially do
not attach the air valve; it is only to be used if required as described
in the operation instructions.
