Re: External CO2 Reactor

["Chris Ferrell" <ferrell_chris at hotmail_com>]

I'm looking for a new way to get co2 into my tank.  The smaller external co2
reactor sounds like exactly what I need.  I am currently running a 20 gallon
tank, but I am expecting to upgrade to a 75 sometime in a year or so.  If
anyone has one of these, knows where they are sold or has some basic
pictures/plans that I could use, I would appreicate it.

Also, if anyone knows of a place to get a small section of clear tubing that
I could use in the construction, please drop me an email.  Something like
2-3 inch diameter and 12"-18" length... something that I can adhere to PVC
endcaps to make the reactor complete.

Thanks, Chris
