pvc calcium reactor

[kennny]

I did a search for pvc calcium reactors and my results were few. I realize they are ugly and you cant see in them to check your media but I dont care about looks I am all about practicality. who ever has made a pvc reactor please post your pics. I promise I wont laugh. be proud of your ugly piece of work. It would also be helpful if you would share your thoughts on a pvc calcium reactor.

this is not a problem at all. My buddy makes these diy ca reactors out of pvc b/c they are cheap to make and work just the same as if you did it with acrylic. Im making mine out of acrylic just b/c Im a dork and I like to see whats going on. But the same with skimmers pvc works just as good as acrylic.
