hello all
Sorry if this has already been posted, or i missed it in the DIY section but the search function is down and the world cup is on sooo.... hehe
Anyways, does anyone have any good plans for a DIY media reactor? say, based off of the principles of a phosban reactor?
It's fuction is pretty intuitive and its easy to build just based off of principles of flow, but I'd rather get it right and 100% effective
also...
I was thinking about using a 3 1/2 to 4 inch acrylic tube, roughly a ft tall for my 90 gal semi-reef (i'm thinking about going all reef) and loading it to the brim with phosban and various media since i plan on making multiple reactors. I was given one of those Ebay ro/di units and it worked pretty well aside of the fact that it only took out some of the phosphates into my water.
Lastly...
I have an old fluval 304 and I was thinking about using that instead of a media reactor. But because I'm really anal about my tank and in the way it looks, sump included, I was going to keep the fluval on hand in case it was necessary and use the media reactor for the more "professional" look. Should I just suck it up and save the effort and use the canister or go for the reactors?
Do you guys think that its overkill?
