I dont have any pics but i'll give you a parts list.1. 2-4" pvc slip couplings 2. 4"acrylic tube about 2' 3. 2-4" pvc floor drains. 4. weldon cement 5. 2- 1/4" male by push in jaco fittings you can get them at home depot 6. 6" round piece of 3/8" thick acrylic. 7. a twist tie cap for top(i forgot the actual name of it but its made where you screw it down and it sqeezes a rubber donut that it will make a seal at the top). You can get that online. The drains you have to cut them down and fit one in the bottom facing up in one side of the coupling and the other goes on the top coupling. First put together the tube and couplings use the weldon glue for the bonding them. Then the pvc drains go in one top and one at the bottom. Glue the 6" round acrylic to the bottom coupling. You have to drill a hole one size smaller in bottom in the pvc coupling and use a threaded nipple to make threads for the 1/4" jaco fitting do the same at the top in the pvc. I just run mine off my calc reactor but you can do it off a pump but have to reduce it down to what ever size. You dont have to make it 1/4" you can do whatever you want. I just take the lid off and put my phosban in mesh bags and put them in the tube. any questions please email or respond
