$1.01 CO2 reactor
This is my second attempt at drawing with text, the last one turned out bad...

I paid $.15 for a foot of vinyl tubing, $.21 for 3 feet of airline tubing, and $.65
for a coke bottle, and I got to drink the coke too! I washed some crushed rocks and stuffed
them in the bottle (just smaller than the bottle neck) then I pushed the tubings into the
bottle and connected it to the power head and got myself a reactor. Best of all, it is
brain-dead easy, don't have to glue anything.
It works great for me, the CO2 bubbles rise to the neck and gets push back down by
the current, they seem to 'dance' at neck. Another thing I like about this is that it is easy
to exhaust. I can just unplug the powerhead and all the bubbles would escape. If you like
this design, please e-mail me a smilie --> :-) if you dont think that it is very good,
please email me a frownie --> :-(
