Nothing planned but a friend will powdercoat it for me at almost no charge so- its going out on monday.

As far as wood I will take care of that once the system is running and everything is to my satisfaction.

My tank is bein drilled today and should be ready by next week.

Another toy is here

Another toy is here

Still waiting for the heart of my system BK skimmer.

This fluidized reactor will be used exclusively for rowaphos.

Same principle better quality.

A fluidized chemical reactor is the most efficient way to use chemical filtration.

Honda and mercedes are cars but they are not built the same way.

I say there are two main differences, first is the size, the deltec unit is about three times the size of the TLF, which allows you to place more media and use it as a fluidize filter, preventing the media from being compacted and start channeling.
Second, is the way this two reactors open to be refill or clean, the Deltec has a twist lock with a rubber o-ring, the TLF has screws that use to make me drag every time I hd to change the media, I believe that the TLF is now available with a twist lock too, but not sure.
Other that they are both the same principle.

Makes sense for bigger tanks, but yes, the TLF is a twist lock with an o-ring now.
