Built another small Blue hypo reactor today.

I started with a airtight acrylic mason jar.

Then I drilled 2 5/8 inch holes at the top.

Next is a couple of quick connector for tubing threaded for 1/2 pvc on the other side. To that fitting I placed a washer and cut some reused pvc to fit the jar. I also drilled an end cap.

After this I cut a piece of knitting board to the size of the jar

The other side I made an input with some spare pvc.

Finally I wrapped it in grow light strip.

And villa!

any thoughts?

I'm going to use it to grow Blue Hypnea marco algae. It is a very slow grower and my Turbo snails are just eating any little piece of it I put in my tank.

That’s a neat idea.

Wait until you see what I have planned from my cheeto
