I do. My computer just crashed Again for the 4th time this month so everythign is wiped out again, Send me your email adress and ill send you a bunch of pictures and a bunch of info.

Do a Beckett instead of a downdraft need the same pump just works much better and same difficulty to build, Actually depending on how you do it can be easier.

thanks for the info on that place in china town!
i think i will be heading there tomm to pick up some of the weldon and some skimmer materials,i think i will try to get the stuff to build a cal reactor too! i found some good pics and info on them.i put that skimmer back together but i think i'll just build a bigger one seems to be the bigger the reactor chamber the better skimmate you get.

This is very interesting, can you tell more about costs and tools needed? How much did you soend on building it?

I am interested in building one, can you let me in on the information, tools needed, and the supply location, along with costs.
