Wet testing on the new Ca reactor

Hi,

Looks awesome...makes my DIY jobs look like fisher price. Say...is there going to be a second chamber to this reactor ? It might help reduce the pH fluctuations that you are currently seeing in your tank. It usually helps bring the pH of the effluent of the reactor from 6.5 - 6.8 to around 7.4 to 7.6. BTW, hows the pH problem going ?

Nice work Brad. Would look good on my tank.

Hmm is that a glue drip I see on the bottom? :shock: :wink:

Victor, this is a really large chamber. I don't think the addition of a second chamber would be worth the effort. I traced most of my pH problems to a defective probe. My pH right now is 8.8, according to the meter. I can calibrate it and it reads fine for an hour, but then creeps one way or the other. Hopefully a larger reactor and a new probe will balance the pH at close to 8.0

Troy, thanks. Maybe one day you can have one just like it on your tank :wink:

Not a one, and it held up perfectly to the wet test. As soon as I get a couple of check valves, itll be ready to go.

nice looking there brad .wanna get paid to make me one ..

Very nice job Brad. :D

Thanks Doug.

Mike, I'll reply to your email.

Question if you don't mind. How do you machine the inlet to the main tube from the mag pump. From the looks of it the pvc 1/2" fitting is glued somehow to the acrylic tube. Is it leak proof?
