DIY Bio Pellet Reactor

[httorihanzo]

I'm looking for idea to make my own Bio Pellet reactor for the back compartment of my Sr-120. The only option out there that fits I've seen is $200 bucks and I dont see the value there. A couple hundo to move water over a few hundred balls?

Any suggestions for how I would design this or has one been done before?

Check BRS, I'm sure you can grab one of their media reactors for well under a couple hundos..:D

BRS reactor doesn't fit in the back compartment

I haven't done this so I have no personal advise. Just found it interesting. Please let me know if you do it now it turns out.

I ended up coming across this....I dont know, I might jsut push the $200 for the Innovative Marine Reactor that fits my SR-120

I want to make one. Seems simple enough.

I made a larger version of the CPR Tumbler mini. So far it works very well. I already had everything I need so I made one. Very easy!!

Have pictures?

I did not even realized that I did not take a single picture of it when I finished it. Here are some shots in the process of making it and a video of it working. It is very rough and I did it really quick just to experiment. It is working well though. Maybe I will make another just to make it pretty :D

By the way you can make it as big/small as you want.
