Innovative Marine Mini max Bio pellet ?

[cera]

I just got the iM mini max reactor
How much should the bio pellets be tumbling inside the reactor? I have mine almost at full flow. Video below.

Looks fine. They need enough flow so that the bacteria growing on the pellets doesn't cause the pellets to clump together.

How is the mounting bracket? I realize that you're probably not using it, but just wondering if it feels secure and won't slip.

I am using the bracket, it's very easy to use to make adjustments on the depth you want the reactor to sit at. Thanks for the info.

For those using this, are you having good success/results with it?

Just received mine yesterday from BRS. I was disappointed that the mount would not fit around the lip of my tank because I have a 1" brace. However I love this thing! It was easy to setup. I am also running bio pellets and was afraif to adjust the flow all the way up so I have them barely tumbling. My lfs told me that if I started out with the flow high I could crash my tank. I am starting to wonder now that I have come across this thread. I might turn it up more when I get home tonight.
