Hi all,
I'm starting to work on building a large chaeto (~5ft tall, 6" diameter) reactor for a very big tank (5,000 gallons). I'd really prefer to not have several smaller ones. I'm going to need to get the actual cylinder custom built, but am wondering what kind of material people would recommend? My first thought was acrylic or a reinforced glass. The glass sketches me out because of it's breakability. Wanted to see what people thought and if anyone knows a manufacturer? Thanks!
 
Do you have a link to clear pvc at this size? I haven’t been able to find any
