My DIY Kalk Reactor

[Yariel0527]

I decide to make my own reacto to see if it coul'd keep up with my tank while i am on vacation...

I used 1 Acrylic cilinder of 4 1/2" OD by 27" high...(1/8 thick)
Two Pieces of Black Acrylic for the Flanges
Some PVC and a pump I bought in Petco.

Acrylic Cilinders

Making The Flanges

Flanges All ready cut

Had to purshase some gasket media from HD (I forgot that i had to seal the cover)
