Title: Ghetto carbon reactor...
Post by: FocusFin on December 03, 2009, 12:56:35 PM
...well, not really a reactor but better than the bag of carbon I threw in the sump.

I was looking for a use for the DI containers I had left over so I stuck bag of carbon in one and attached a maxijet.

To avoid exhausting the carbon too quickly I guess I'll have to either:



Seems to work well though.

Definately very nice... a smaller MJ maybe? or divert some of the flow with a junction?

Good job Mike.

Might have to scrounge around and see if I can't do something like that myself.

Thank you gentlemen.

The best part is - it only takes 5 minutes to put together.
