Reminds of the MRC calcium reactors. Very nice build!
All that is left is to add the PH probe holder, otherwise this build is done!
here are some detailed pictures to show how this reactor is assembled and also it shows how easy it is to take apart and clean/service...
Enjoy...
Fully assembled....
disassembled....
Spray bar with media plate...
the lid with the Needle valve...
The reaction chamber...
The Media foam/filter (keeps the media from getting into the pump)
The Chamer with the media plate and spray bar installed..
When installing the lid simply line it up with the spraybar and slip on..
Turn and tighten....
I hope you all have enjoyed this build as much as me!!!!
Cheers
Matt

This style of CR has been around for ages, its no new build, I do a few things different than others like the fact the entire media plate is not glued down so it comes out for easy service, I also like the spraybar rather than an upflow design...
The one thing about my build is it is all (hand crafted)
Cheers

Ok not to sound stupid but what lines go where, how do I get this hooked up?
I got my regulator, tubing, bubble counter, and tank ordered.
Just tell me what lines go where and how this should run when it is all installed.
oh yeah what is the best media for this? For now I am going to hook it up to my 90 gallon.
Thanks for the info..

connenct the co2 to the far left valve on the bottom then the water feeed line to the onto te right of that. use a small pump like a maxijet to feed it. then the valve on top is what you dial in the drip with... i will call you later and help you bro...
