How have these reactors worked??? I am still interested in a DIY if anyone has any ideas. I have heard that you can make one pretty easy out of PVC. I guess its just similar to a phosban reactor but bigger. Im not sure though.
Would it really have to be very big though? Ozone only lasts a few seconds in water, so the contact time would not need to be very long I don't believe. And as long as the outlet from the reactor runs through carbon, it should be fine. I was actually thinking of building it so that the output goes directly to a phosban reactor I have laying around but instead of phosban media, just using carbon in it. Not sure how this would work though. Any ideas would really help!

Has anyone just gone the "really long coil of tubing" way? I have talked to a few people who have told me the reactor with bio balls is not very effective compared to this method. Basically you just have a 25-100' coil of 1/2" HDPE tubing ($60) and a mag pump or similar hooked up to it. The ozone is hooked up to the venturi and it mixes with the water for quite a long time going through all the tubing. The exit of the tubing goes through carbon and thats it. You end up with a coil of tubing behind your tank but thats no big deal. I may try this but thought I would see if anyone has done so here before...
