My DIY large phosban reactor

[Pedro]

So i was thinking. Since people don't want to buy my calcium reactor, i have decided that i will turn one of them into a large phosban reactor. The smallest deltec one is like $200. That was almost the price i was selling my entire setup for, lol. So my plan is to separate the chambers this week. I will attach the feed pump to the bottom of the chamber, it will go through the diffusion plate and flow through the media and exit out the top. Perfect! I will be able to pack more media and it's just something nice for me to do. Stay tuned! Here is the reactor so you can see how i'm going to do it. For now i will use the second chamber. The first chamber will actually still be a calcium reactor, except it will be a single one now.

And so here i introduce the PP101 fluidized reactor. It turned out great, i can't wait to install it, but now i need to get more media for this bad boy! You can see the size difference between the two. I might add another sponge on top, but i'll play it by ear.

second sponge get's my vote also

nice idea, I would make one side po4 remover and the other side a carbon reactor, then go for 2 part

Wow what a great idea! I'm glad you came up with a use for your reactor!
