Anyone wants to build Calcium Reactors together?

[Armando]

I vote for Nate as leader on this

 

[NateHanson]

Let me guess, I get a free T-shirt?

 

[Armando]

And a nice Calcium Reactor built by yourself!

 

[NateHanson]

Sounds nice, but I can't afford the $300 for parts for a while.

(and more importantly, I've spent all my "capital" for a while with my wife. Need to let that build back up for a few months. Speaking of which, I should be cleaning up the house right now. Bye-bye )

 

[~Flighty~]

We would be interested, but the midwife checked me yesterday and said that things are "starting to happen" so we won't be making any plans for the next few weeeks. After that with a three year old, a one year old and a newborn, we'll have plenty of free time.

I'd be in on this I have a CO2 tank, just need the regulators and stuff and the reactor...how much for all the parts?

 

[jmkeary]

i would be interested too

 

[weege1]

I would be down depending on the costs....

Oh yeah... the clear acrylic tube.... just so happens I have 5 clear acrylic tubes, each about a foot tall, 4" diameter, perfect for this project for whomever wants them. I'll happily accept any donation frags in return.

I have a calcium reactor running on my system now, so I can offer design help to those who need it also.

 

[~Flighty~]

We are deffinately in on this if the whole "having a baby" issue is cleared up by then.

We've got frags to trade for acrillic

 

[ScottM]

i have a bunch of tubes and extra misc and regs if people are interested.

i am just too lazy to make flanges. too cheap to buy andy's.
nate,
Whant to loan out your jig for flanges?

 

[NateHanson]

I'll loan out anything, but we didn't make flanges for this last project. The tops were glued directly to the body of the skimmer.

I made a 6" kalk reactor with a flange, but I didn't make a fancy jig because there was just one flange to make. I must have an 8" pattern around for the outside (the inside is just pattern shaped to the inside of the tube after they're glued).

 

[Armando]

I'd like to build a kick S reactor where can i find a large diameter cyl?

 

[spectrum]

Armando,
granted I doubt you'll take me up on the offer but I have a number of the 6" tubes that were bought in a group buy last winter. I'd be more than happy to assist you in making a reactor, I've made a number for the group and would have no problem in making one with you.

spectrum

 

[ScottM]

Spectrum is the MAN! with acrylic.

i'd be VERY interested in a 2xhigh reactor design.

 

[Bidadari]

We just made a dual chamber reactor. It is a good DIY project.

 

[JayG]

I still have some of the acrylic tubes from the group buy and would be interested in building a calc reactor. I've never really worked with acrylic before though....

 

[clamm]

im interested in building one as well if anyone can help...

 

[ScottM]

casey i have a tube for you. i also have industrial magnetic stirrirs for anyone interested in Kalk reactors

 

[skatezen]

I could be interested in a kalk reactor too.
