I can dig it. Pretty simple concept really. Look close at the pictures of the reactor I linked. If you could come in the top of the 6" cylinder, run the water straight to the bottom inside the cylinder with a smaller PVC pipe and then have the water move back up through the cylinder from the bottom it will maximize your media's effectiveness. Rather than water passing by or around the media it has to move through all of it, evenly, because that's how gravity works if the smaller pipe is in the center and the cylinder is upright. Stuff filter floss (synthetic pillow stuffing, aka polyfil, $3 for a huge bag at Walmart) in the top and bottom for mechanical filtration and to contain the media and keep it from moving on to the next reactor.OceanDeep85;969776 wrote: Yeah, Josh. I guess what I'm really talking about is a chain of PVC, DIY reactors. I've been working on it for a while and I've honestly even gotten down to using some of CALtech's programs to calculate flow and everything.
I'm reinventing the wheel.. but it's my friggin' wheel.. knamean!?
haha

Most of the stuff I've heard is that you want it packed in tight so it doesn't crash into each other and cause it to break apart into dust.. especially carbon since it can be brittle. That's interesting. Good news, actually, since it will probably cost me less in overall materials and I'll have to worry a little less about how to make sure it's secure in the chamber.
