Max nano Overflow?

[Jup_adr]

Max nano owner do you guys let the water over flow? Or do you guys keep it right before it overflows the little containment wall?

Short Answer:

Most Max Nano owners keep the water just below the overflow wall, so the surface is skimming constantly but gently. It should just kiss the overflow teeth, not pour over dramatically.


Ideal Water Level Tips:

1. Water should skim the surface

You want a thin film of water going over the weir (overflow wall).

This ensures oils/proteins are removed and keeps surface agitation smooth.



2. Don’t submerge the overflow

If water is too high and flowing over the wall, you're at risk of:

No surface skimming

ATO issues (false readings)

Microbubbles in the return section

Increased salt creep




3. Avoid too low either

If water sits way below the overflow, you risk:

Poor skimming

Loud trickling sounds

Pump cavitation
