Diy c02 reactor - Aquarium Advice

This is my Diy c02 reactor. I added the peace at the top of it so all the extra c02 can go back into my tank via a powerhead. Works great.

Looks good, cheesehazard! I put off cementing my new reactor today until the last minute, then when I finally got the motivation to do it...the [acronym:e54b6547b1="Plastic pipe"]PVC[/acronym:e54b6547b1] cement had completely gelled up! Luckily [acronym:e54b6547b1="Home Depot"]HD[/acronym:e54b6547b1] was open for a little while longer, so I was able to by new cement and finish the project earlier this evening.

You're using pressurized [acronym:e54b6547b1="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:e54b6547b1], correct? What size is the co2 tank and what are your water parameters?
