diy calcium reactor

Here is a photo of a calc reactor I built can anyone see any major pitfalls I may encounter?

The reactor is up and running. I thought I would share a couple useful tidbits I finally figured out after many trial and error control the amount of water entering the reactor do not restrict the outflow this allows essentially no pressure on the reactor. this makes it much easier to control the bubble count for the co2, it also prevents catastrophic failure of the the reactor like my first first version. I also learned it is extremely difficult to get a 10lb co2 bottle filled in my area the only place I found wanted 27 dollars I ended up buying a 20 lbs tank from wesco which they fill for 12 dollars the tank with the first fill was 119.

Not sure that a roll of paper towels will work all that well as a secondary chamber.

That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I guess you have to be a reef geek to really appreciate it though! :lolspin:
