    Here is full tank shot from this evening... (Looks allmost like an ad-photo for the GHL PropellerBreeze II fans on top, except for my ghetto-style mounting)... :D

    Do you see the niger triggerfish? ;)

    Would you share what you used for the tops and bottoms to your dual reactors?

    Thank You,

    How is the aquarium industry in Sweden? I did some research a while ago and it seemed like saltwater aquariums aren't a thing there..

    Thanks! The top of the reactors is just a standard PVC end cap with a union (with smaller diameter) on top. I've trimmed down the length of the union and use the holesaw leftovers from the cut in the endcap as cover in the otheer end of the union fitting. The bottom part is just another end cap that I trimmed down and use part of the leftovers as "foot".

    I've made two small upflow reactors the same way for my smaller reef cube also...

    Thanks!


    The saltwater hobby is quite small here... I'm lucky to live in one of the few cities with a dedicated saltwater shop... There is no companies related to aquarium equipment here, (too bad, since I would love working for one...).


    Thanks!
