Most recent coral photos here.

My most recent update here.

 

I don't currently have separate builds for the diy ato or reactor.

 

You are doing a great job with your reactors you may want to leave funnel off. IT's not needed with such a small reacter i know why you have it just saying not needed and will work well without it. Stuff will get between funnel and reacter bottom so if you can maybe drill a few holes in funnel so water can get to bottom. You may already be doing this could not tell from picture only offering help not putting down your quality project.

 

Great posts.. Love seeing people working with acrylic..

 

quality work.

 

Thanks for the heads up 414,
I have dealt with this issue in a later model.

 

Thanks John,
Maybe someone will get a few tips along the way and decide to tackle a DIY project of their own.

 

Thanks cgarner,
I am pretty anal about what comes out of my shop.

 

Beautiful Workmanship!!! Nothing better than being able to create exactly what you need!

PS... From a fellow acrylic DIY'er; Don't ya just love cleaning up after these projects :

 

The water will flow out the side, just below the top. I didnt want anything sticking out on the inside of the tube. Because the internal workings need to come out the top with out any snags.
This is what I came up with. I will mount a 1'' thick X 2'' x 2'' piece of acrylic to the outside of the tube. This is how I shaped that piece.




Took them to the torch to shine them up.



this was the first step ( rough out )


Weld them up with tape as a clamp
