![]() Neat. Where's the probe holder? (Sorry if I'm just daft - but I don't see it?) What did you use for a probe holder?
How does the media chamber thing work? Is it basically some 5.5" tubing inside some 6" or something like that?

I bolted the lid onto a flange so the holes are all aligned. Then I used a heat gun to heat both sides until slightly soft and then pushed it down on a piece of 2 inch coupling through the flange. Tony The probe holder is sticking out through the side of the upflow tubing. I put it there so its out of the way where I won`t need access to the reactor. I used a half inch gland nut that had a male NPT which screwed into a FPT fitting. The bottom of the media chamber is an acrylic doughnut that has a 2-3 inch hole in the middle and this ring is glued into place. I cut eggcrate to fit on top of the doughnut, then two layers of enkamat, and another doughnut to squish the enkamat down. When I want to remove the chamber, I drain water until its below the flange, unscrew the nylon bolts, and unscrew the top union.

![]() Nice work. Are you going to be able to pull that probe out easily for recalibration?
