Wow, very nice reactor but too expensive for this guy. I wonder how hard it would be to make something similar?

The reactor showed up today. I think it looks pretty good especially for the price. $88.00 + $20.00 shipping.
No duty or UPS charges for once.

It came with instructions, media, ballvalves, a 5 PSI check valve, all the fittings, clamps and tubing. Some of the fittings are even pre-wrapped with teflon tape.

And a lifetime warranty against leaks.

Here's the pics.






They only take money orders from Canada but they were great to deal with.

Follow up
After running this reactor since Oct.13 it's raised my ORP from 275 to 350 and there is a big difference in my 220. I used to have to clean the glass every few days, now it's once a week or so. There was a little cyno in the fuge that is gone as well. The water does really seems to sparkle now under the light in the sump. People have said it makes a big difference and I have to agree.
I imagine it's partly because I had a low ORP to start with.
I had to adjust the skimmers a little bit wetter and the skimmate is more of a green-black color than the green-brown it was.
I'm running a Red Sea 200mg controller at 150mg with a 500g air dryer and a carbon reactor on the output.

And thanks for the help from andrewsk.

Does you 200 mg/hr red sea unit set at 75% run 100% of the time?

No it is cycling on and off, the controller needs about a 30mg difference between set point and probe reading to activate.
