Well, assuming you are using acrylic, and assuming you want a basic reactor, you will most likely need:

Tools:
Weldon on 3 or 4 and 16
1/2" NPT Tap
1/4" NPT Tap
PVC Cutters
Drill/Drill press
assorted drill bits

Materials:
1-acrylic tube (lets say 6" O.D.X whatever height you want)
2-acrylic flanges (8" O.D. if using 6" O.D. tube)
1-acrylic sheet (8"X11"X1/4")
2-1/2" uniseals or other bulkheads
1/2" PVC Pipe
1-Mag 3 pump
2-1/2" unions
2-1/2" elbows
2-1/2" tee
1-1/2" male adapter
1-1/2" female adapter
2" O.D. ABS or PVC pipe X 4" long
8 nylon fasteners
1-o-ring 6.5" to 7" O.D
enough eggcrate to make 5.5" O.D. circle
foam
2-1/2" to 1/4" John Guest Style fittings
1-1/4" John Guest style Valve (or needle valve if you can find one)

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to follow along with though...
