very nice... but no probe holder ?

Not a shabby job.. if it wasn't for my bathroom.. or the windows.. or any one of the other projects I"m doing I might actually have gotten off my butt and built one myself

Tom, where did you purchase the acrylic tube? Is that cast acrylic? I need to build a kalk reactor. If you have extra tube, please lmk ..

Nice. But it seems there were three of you, but only two reactors.

What are the dimensions of the tube? Also, what model Eheim are you using?

 

[sulcata1619]

6 1/2" diameter
17" long
Eheim 1250

Tom already has one and it is kicking a$$. He was just helping Jeff and I. What a guy. Thanks again Tom.

Right now I am dosing a ton of Homemade two part. Can't wait to get my reactor going.

Thanks guys, the tube is protrude not cast, but its working fine for a year now. we built about 4 of these already from the long tube that I bought on ebay. If anyonw want to do a ph probe, all they have to do is drill a hole and install a uniseal and voila.

Mike, it was my pleasure .... now if we can mass produce these and sell them to club members at a decent price. This is a copy of the PM unit that are selling for $550 for the body and pump. I gotta find more tubes
