bioplastic reactor for.....$15.00

Hey, that's a great DIY. Nice improvising! I may have to try this.

 

I've been thinking of getting a small reactor for my 29 gallon. I think this just replaced the idea of getting a store bought one

 

awsome DIY wish I had seen this awhile ago just dropped another 85.00 for another nextreef MR1....great job

 

yea I couldn't drop the 85 bucks so this was the alternative plus it works GREAT!!!

 

What size nano did you use this on?
How long is the reactor?
What is the diameter of the reactor?


I need to enlarge this system for my 80gal grow out system.

 

20 gallon nano

it is 14 inches long

diameter is about 2.5 inches

I used a narrow tube so I could get alot of flow through the media but if you got a good pump you could go wider

 

What diameter pvc did you use? I have some 1", but it is not quite big enough. I will have to get some 1 1/4" and see if that works better.

 

That generally answers my question.

I couldn't find one that big around.

 

Just cancelled my $100 reactor order! Kept looking at those things wondering where the money went! Now i know! in their pocket! lol!

Anyways, thanks, won't be able to use your plan persay, but nothing 1/2 hour at Lowes can't solve!

Also, where do you get the plastic mesh in walmart?

Thanks again for saving me some cash! now i need to figure out how to run a loop through my uv/fuge/this to get rid of some pumps in the tank!
any ideas?

thx again!

 

The plastic mesh can be bought at most Wal-mart(s), in the crafts section (i.e. - cross stitching). Unfortunately my Walmart thinks cake decorating and children's parties are more important (they don't carry it). So I will have to find the plastic mesh somewhere else...
