there's been a couple, but the one that really stands out of DJ88's reactor build on RC. I used that one as the bare bones and looked at other design's from dealers. what I have is fairly compact but should be able to hold a whole jug of media.
the kids have come down with lice so my progress has slowed down. I'm battling the bugs currently with everything available in the stores, including mayonase and olive oil hair treatments. I can safely say the Merrick is the one mainly infected with susan a possibility, while Xander and I are clean. All i've got left to do is glue the top and bottom on my reactor, then wet test.

There it is. Most all reactor builds were requiring a lid held on with screws. I personaly don't want to make getting into the reactor a major effort so I used a union for the piont of access in the top. I'll get this thing finnished tonight and some pictures.
Darn lice!

Cool. Glad you like the coral!
i use a plain craftsman table saw with a 10" blade. the teeth are 100 count tripple chip zero kerf blades. their fairly easy to find. you don't have to have a $100 blade to cut acrylic, you just have to make sure the blade is sharp or it will melt as it cuts giving you an unglueable edge. You'll have to come out sometime and I can show you what I do. I use the "pins" method for welding pieces together, before that it was all capillary action. I can get my joints near glass clear and when/if i ever get my routing table together i'll be really rockin.

I'll take you up on that offer. I usually work a week on/week off. I'm working next week and should be off the following. Send me a PM next time you do some acrylic work. I'm really wanting to start working with it soon.
Every since we came to your house my little boy won't stop talking about how he loved Bella and wanted a dog like her. He talked about her non-stop for two plus months. Funny!

I used to get my acrylic at Piedmont Plastic off knight arnold. However, Richard was talking to me a while back about another place he's been using and I think I'll give them a try.

Most of the time its about finding the correct pieces (cones, cylinders) but assembly is usually easy. we can get together and work out a diagram, then its just a matter of making the cuts or paying someone else to make them.
