Vincenzo.

here is my diy carbon reactor i made from pvc for 10$. all pieces where from home depot.
it is small, but it's for my nano, so it's perfect. i still need to cement them in place.

neat idea

are all those small pieces hollow from the middle? if so couldn't you use just you one long pvc to connect both ends too...

if not then ignore this above comment, as it is a lil hard to tell exactly from the picture.

^yes you can. but they sell pvc in 10 foot pieces, and i only needed 12'' so i went the piece by piece route.

Im planning to daisy chain a DIY carbon chamber with my phosban reactor as well. Should be interesting  ;D well played

Vincenzo.

Vince, I should have given you scrap runs of PVC when you were over. I have some extra lying around from by initial build. Maybe next visit.
