I built a copy of Jon's reactor but used that thicker weldon since thats all I had and was too impatient. Pressure tested(too much pressure) and blew out the bottom end. My impatience/anger then made me beg Jon for the acrylic work.
As for how it performs, I made a few modifications last weekend to the recirc line so I need to test levels again to see whats up. In the past, my calcium/alk levels have been slightly lower than the text book levels but I am getting very fast growth rates with sps and stupid amounts of coraline. Maybe thats why the levels are always slightly lower??
Cavitation=zero, tinkering now = next to nothing, happiness level=high.
