Return to planted tank

I really like the copper part where the CO2 tube is to be attached cos it's much more sturdy as compared to the one on NA's reactor. However i feel that the reactor should have been the other way round with the blue colour part of the reactor at the bottom instead of at the top cos the CO2 tat is pumped in would have a longer time of being mixed before it is pumped out like what you see in NA's reactor??

As it is right now from your design, the CO2 tat is pumped in will stay at the top part without it being mixed properly before being pumped out again.

Wanted the canister to be place upright instead of NA style. Thanks to bro shadow advice. From this design, the water and co2 will enter the canister from the right. And exit the canister fro the PVC pipe to the left. Have yet to try out yet. But beileve the co2 entering will have a good mix before it exit from the bottom of the PVC pipe.

I would like to enquire what kinda sugar will you be using and the mix that you be preparing.

Bro, Not doing DIY co2.

Got few rocks today, reach home while kids are asleep, fast hand fast leg try to scape the rocks. Spray some water on the rocks and found the new purchase rocks not the same color. wasted my $.

Feel that without the soil in place, very difficult to scape. Some quicky shots from iPhone.

Why another DIY CO2 reactor is required?

Is the aqua medic reactor 1000 at the first can serve the same purpose?

May i know aqua medic reactor 1000 can be bought at where?

Thanks.

Friend, do not feel discouraged.
I support you mentally. Blue Planet had 1 huge rock in front of counter last week. When i went there with a bro, already got raided and left 5 larger ones only in 1-2 days.
