DIY External Reactor Questions

[|squee|]

1) I'm using a Atman 3335, with a flowrate of 600L/hour. Is this flowrate good enough for a DIY external reactor like the one below?

2) I'm planning to do it this way. Can all the parts be found in places like your neighbourhood hardware shop?

Thanks guys

shldnt pose any problems. I prefer a clear transparent container.. which makes it possible to allow me to see what's happen in the reactor. But that just me

A transparent PVC tube? Sorry, I've never worked with PVC in my life :P

dun think there is transparent PVC , but who knows

There is Clear PVC tube just not available in SG. There are different dia. of clear acrylic tube available go to dawa in ubi and get what you want.

Add a difusser disc in the tube it helps to dissolve the CO2 in the water.
Reducing the height between and the filter increase the pump power. It should be able to drive it.

order them online

I'll try to document the process. Just got the 2" PVC tube today at my local hardware shop. Just only that, I have to find the rest of the tubes elsewhere.

There is such thing as ..............
transparent PVC,
it is available in Singapore(DAMA Plastic, Hai Cheong),
easy to work, can be glue like ordinary PVC.

I have already DIYed external reactor lik this.......



Cheers, happy DIY.

The thing that concerns me most is the flow rate strength, as my fliter is a Atman, and I don't really think I can trust it on it's stated 600L/h flowrate. Will having that flowrate work? Or does it depend on bubble count too?

Schema,
Care to spare the schematics on that thing?? it looks way sweet man!!
like where to get materials and what you did etc...lol..

pm me leh..
