Just another co2 Reactor


Sorry no pics, but if you have any knowledge of PVC, you'll picture it in your head


eheim 2217 running all the flow on a 38 gallon tank (will some day be upgraded to a custom dimention 55 gal)

Total height of reactor 18"
From inlet parts go as follows, all in this shape [

1/2 barb to 3/4 threaded
2" endcap with 3/4 threaded hole
2" sweep 90º elbow
straight length of pvc approx 12"
2" sweep 90º elbow
2" endcap with 3/4 threaded hole
1/2 barb to 3/4 threaded

The concept behind this, was that the harsh corners build into alot of the pvc reactors has alot of impact on the flow. I am inclined to believe its true. Its night, so I cant check the co2 efficiency, but I don't really notice any diminished flow. I'm very happy with this.

I am slowly cleaning up my cabinet (I hate wire/tube mazes). My hydor eth 200w should be in my mailbox by saturday. I already have its placement planned. LOOKIN SNAZZY!

Pics tomorrow maybe I think I dunno I'll try?
