Looks good. I like the idea of 90 degree pvc elbows.

Thank you. Yeah I don't know if it matters, but I was thinking it would not limit the filter flow. Now to get rid of the algae!

A 90 degree sweep style elbow would offer less resistance than a standard elbow but I'm not sure if the are available in the size. As long as you are not seeing a significant drop in flow it should be fine.
Now kill that algae!

Will your next test be on the counter top with the intake and output in the sink or is it ready for big time? Personally I would do the former with a check valve at the end of the CO2 feed tubing and ALL parts dried off and let it run for while.
Is it quiet? Any gurgling? You could hook up the CO2 to get an idea what goes on in the reactor since you can actually see the inner workings.
Lastly, good job!

One thing I didn't consider was the actual priming of the reactor, after a wc mines noisy for a day.. i may splice in a ball valve as to lock the water in there to avoid cavitation post wc.

Yeah, good idea. I have 2 Rex Grigg style and was considering that very same option. Oh by the way...I have been dosing excel 50ml every day in the 55 gallon like you said and the clado algae is turning pale. Good sign?

Do you guys dose 1ml per gallon at all times or just to fight algae? I assume you are dosing excel with pressurized co2.

All the time. I use glut (more economical). And pressurized CO2. Apparently I am running high light (PAR can exceed 100+ for about 3 hours).
