chippwalters Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Just uploaded a new reactor design to Printables. Here are some pictures. Learn more about it at: https://www.printables.com/model/292376-aquarium-reactor Gave one to Tim to try out. Made in PLA (which I've tested and seems to work fine in my smaller saltwater tank over 1 years time). Cost of materials isn't too bad: Acrylic Tube: 4" x 3" OD 2 3/4" ID : $6 Pump at Amazon: $11 3D plastic: ~$4 Laser cut Acrylic pieces: ~$4 So, it's under $30 all-in if you have a 3D printer and a Laser cutter. 20221010_014313.mp4 Edited October 10, 2022 by chippwalters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Great desighn Chipp! It's real easy to use GFO and GAC without needing to fill bags. (And if you get a gorilla that torques down the bolt and breaks it it's easy to replace with a nylon bolt or twisty tie 😏) Just running it in some tap water rinses GAC real well before dropping it in a tank.
