Co2 Reactor Updates



	Ok, I think I've got this whole Co2 reactor thing figured out. I think 
I've found the best solution, second to a store-bought reactor, of course. 
I took an eight-ounce clear plastic cup (disposable)... I then melted a 1/2 
inch hole into the side of the cup. I put the cup into the water, and 
inverted it. I mashed the hole in the cup onto the outflow of my powerhead. 
I hooked my 2 bottles of Co2 into an airline tee, and hooked the one line 
coming from the tee onto the air intake on the powerhead. The fine stream 
of Co2 bubbles comes out of the powerhead, and goes down towards the bottom 
of the tank. The bubbles float back up into the cup, where they're agitated 
by the outflow of the powerhead, and pushed back down. This keeps happening 
until they're dissolved. I haven't seen one bubble reach the surface so 
far, and this has been running for about an hour. pH is remaining constant 
at 6.5, without Co2, the water is 7.4. This could probably work as well, or 
better if used with a 6" piece of UGH tube, and the powerhead set to 
reverse flow... Does this make sense? Just thought I'd share my findings...
