Phosban reactor build part dux
once that was done, I thought I may want to sue the reactor in sump, and since the label was made of paper, I did not want it polluting my tank, besides, we are getting to the point where it is not really fair to call it a a TLF phosban reactor any more, so I attempted to peal the sticker off but this was an exercise in futility as it had gotten wet for a few minutes and had already begun to deteriorate and just sort of fell apart as you tried to peal it leaving lot of glue residue  This was easily fixed with a little zap from the heat gun, again being careful not to apply too much heat to any one spot for too long a time, once heated, it came off like a debutant's bra on prom night  Another little deficiency that needed addressing was that the top plate and tube did not seal at all, it was actually so loose that you could spin it when resting on the bottom tube, this was fixed with 3 1/2 wraps of teflon tape  And here you can see my finished DIY reactor installed. Notice that the hose was trimmed to length so that the pump rests on the sump floor and the ball valve is on the input side as the original instructions state that the reactor will leak of the output is restricted

556-Nice mod!
What do you mean: "Another little deficiency that needed addressing was that the top plate and tube did not seal at all, it was actually so loose that you could spin it when resting on the bottom tube, this was fixed with 3 1/2 wraps of teflon tape." Do you mean the little tube with the upper red plate should not spin? I ended up hooking it up last night, but only with a few inches of media. I am going to add more today. We shoot pretty much with CMSA only because our local club happens be be a CMSA club in Acton. They hold their events in Acton, 1 at Pierce College and 1 at Fort Tejon. We've been to SASS shoots in Winchester. It just depends on which club is putting it on and our schedule. Joyce |

thanks for the compliment
I would think that it should fit snug. it will probably work loose, I chose to fix it. on the GFO, remember to start slow. 1 gram/gallon max, if it is your first time running GFO, only run 1/3 that for the first week or so, as GFO pulls Po4 FAST and can seriously shock your corals if they have acclimated to elevated Po4 levels I think you are right, you shoot what is local, the only thing I have found within an hour of my house is a semi-weekly tactical shoot last week we had weak hand competition I put 22 in the x and 2 in the 9 ring, left handed.. I won a very nice in the waistband CC holster for my 1911 what you are doing on your avatar looks like a heck of a lot more fun

i'm sorry but from your pic, it seems that u've placed the ball valve on the output hose instead, as the centre hose is input while the outer hose is output. or am i reading your pic wrongly?
btw, sorry for your previous loss |

thanks for the condolences, the picture is a bit deceiving, if you look closely you can see the bulges from the barbs on the center tube

Your comparing a $30 to a $500 dollar nitrate filter. The LF 150 is one of the few things in this hobby, that is well worth the price. There are no mods needed and the thread is based on user error. |

The OP has turned his inability to operate a simple device that needs no mods into a pseudo mod thread for a device, again, that needs no mods.
... and Im guilty of perpetuating this stupid thread by responding to it again. |

Outside the sump, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express a week ago maybe that has something to do with it. crossi92 is a programmer so no suprise he figured it out. Engine 7 tried to help you out, but you decided you didn't need any. $30 reactor 1, 5.56 0 if any anybody is keeping score.

great, in golf i am winning..
um, did you take a moment to see what I did with it... did you see the part where the I tested the tension on the elbows and it took less pressure to pull the trigger on a 1911 than to pop the elbow off... no, don't boter yourself reading, just flame, pure ignorance...

Look, you brought this on yourself. Your first post was completely ignorant and un-called for. People here are more than willing to listen to problems and offer advice, if it go about it nicely, now your post's are just a joke to everyone. I would be embarrased to share that email that you sent to Reefgeek, it was rude and disrespectful to a retailer that is also more than willing to help people in this hobby. Learn some people skills!

the only thing I am embarrased about is that I was naive enough to expect the same level of care from a online retailer that I receive from my LFS. on that count I was sorely mistaken, as has been pointed out to me time and again
several people have stated that they get these things for $30, if that is true I sure got ripped off as RG got almost $50 for it shipped

Ok I don't own a model 1911 Colt, so I have no idea what the trigger pull is didn't you say yours was modified. The elbows have not popped off of mine, maybe they will. The flaming thing, just stating the facts with a thread titled Two Little Fishes phostban 150, what a POS. One would think it would be like a bandwagon for everybody that had a problem with them. Right now you are in the minority. They are $31.49 from the drs right now.
