When i get me new tank and sump room done, I will have a much less cluttered space for the reactor.
About the crazing, if I would have lightly sanded the edges, or took better care not to let the weldon 16 spill over, I would not have had that issue. Remember, that this base was version 2. The first version was laminated with weldon 3 or 4, and I had no crazing with it.
I used gaskets, laser cut. I tried oring sealing when I built my kalk reactor, and had bad luck. I redid the top three times before I gave up and went gasket. I would love to use oring instead, but apparently am just not that skilled.
I thought about the laminating issue last night, I am considering making version 3 bolt together with gaskets between the two layers. That way no sanding, no crazing, AND you could completely disassembly for cleaning if you wanted to. I am also considered going with .75†clear for the center section of the base, this could aid in flow for the bigger pump.
Maybe I will draw a little sketchup for illustrative purposes, as I know I am not the best at explaining myself with words.
