My inline CO2 reactor

[shrek_vn2002]

It took me 30 minutes to finish this reactor... I had to order clear pvc on ebay cz i couldn't find it anywhere in local store.... it cost me 15$ for 24'' long (2''OD). and 10$ for shipping. I use live search (live.com) search for "clear pvc" and get 25% cash back...

Here is the link how to make the reactor...

looks great. what kind of filter do you have?

 

[shrek_vn2002]

I just bought an xp2 filter and this reactor will fix for it.

looks a lot more professional than the one I made. then again, I was going more for function than form. haha

 

[shrek_vn2002]

yeah... you are right...i'm not sure if it funtion or not. i need to wait for few days until the glue dry out and need to run water to clean the bio-ball before i put it on the inlet. Hope it works!! hehe

Looks good!

 

[jrp1588]

it'll work, the parts are the same as mine except for the clear PVC. I was just saying yours is a lot prettier. lol

Sparky *would* be proud. I hope the one I make looks that good.

 

[shrek_vn2002]

Eventhough Sparky listed all the part I still had a hard time to find them.... This is my very first time touching the pvc stuff ... hehehe...

Nice work!!
I'm not planning on using bio balls since they can get clogged and am integrating an external heater.

 

[shrek_vn2002]

you meant you put the heater into the tube instead of putting it in the tank?
