    BRS reactor with BioPellets combo: $65 (with group buy discount)
    - PVC mesh disk ($0.79 at Micheal's)
    - PVC 3/4 about 10" (2 feet @ $1.50 at Home depot)
    - Funnel ($1 at Walmart)
    - PVC 3/4 Cap ($0.36 at HD)
    - O ring (had to buy 10 only need one $2.50)
    - zip ties (you have them, no?)
    and other tools and a power drill.
    Total of misc. parts : (less than)$6
    And of course youd need a pump to run it (I suggest to use a Mag3, if you're running more than 400ml).

    You wont be using the inner bio pellet canister with this mod. You can just get a carbon/GFO reactor which is cheaper (as low as $34).

    Thanks Shin, next time add in more aspects of actual fabrication. Scissors cut the funnels very well, chops saws... not so much.

    Just took the tumbling vid. Still dialed back, yet tumbling great.
