    phos/carbon reactors

    so I decided to make a phosphate reactor today and for the cost I just made two . 2nds going to be for carbon.

    The only thing I see as a potential problem is the fact that they are black and not see through I have to adjust my flow through my media reactor based on the reaction of the phosphate media meaning how it is churning. I can tell by looks when I have the flow adjusted properly. Otherwise I really like them . Could you make up a parts list? That would be worth major Karma . I would love to make one to run carbon .

    Yeah, I would love to see a parts list too. I have a POS Seaclone skimmer that I may try to use, but a parts list would really help.

    I run one of each but mine are the see through ones from PM . You done a great job even thinking of flow control with the valves.

    I did'nt make a parts list befor to start the project and im not sure of all the actual parts names as I just had an idea and went to the hard ware to see what they had but the chamber is a 2" dia and all the threaded fittings are 1/2" and their is a few peices that I had to make out of acrylic to go inside the system.
