Large and difficult sized o-rings are sometimes expensive and hard to find. In the past I purchased the required OD o-ring material off the roll and cut/glued the size to fit.

Not sure if this method helps but it worked great for what I was doing.

Just to give you guys a heads up.
using pellets since Dec 30. the cheato colony totally collapsed yesterday,
looks like there is some nutrient depletion going on. Also noticing hair algae collapsing as well (noticeably easier to grab and dispose of the hair algae).

I am not sure if low nutrient is good for my tank beacause it is mostly LPS.

i have got some LPS as well, so i feed them more directly now with Cyclopeze, reefroids etc.

My one day update. I emptied my skimmer cup yesterday and now i notice the color is dark brown instead of dark green that i used to get. My nitrate is reading at 15, will update the reading after one week.

So to solve the leaking problem i have to tilt the reactor a bit so any leaking will go into the sump. The same thing happens to my other reactor :-( I use both reactors for pellets now, 500ml on each. For carbon, I just put in a bag and put it into my filter sock.
