reactors are very easy to make. if you DIY your own, post how you did it in the DIY forums

Default DIY Zeo reactor

I have yet to find any details on how to make one self contained. I have seen a couple of them but can't figure on how they have the agitation handle work and sealed so there are no leaks.

You shouldn't need to have the handle seal if the drain at the top of the reactor is lower than the top of the reactor...well, assuming the drain hole doesn't plug up...

My current setup is sumpless and I would like to have the reactor below the tank in the cabinet, so from how I figure it, it would need to be sealed. I suppose the other option is to build a sump or have it hanging on the back of the tank. For now I am going to add more tubing and improve my contections to the phosban reactor, see how that works.
