Okay Chris, I'll make it over there sometime. I'm still fairly swamped with school crap. But I'll still need to get a camera over here for pics. Actually, there's a guy named Louey who also took the course who posted pictures of his on the DIY forum of reefs.org. He built a bigger one; basically looks the same as mine except I'm using an eheim pump, so my plumbing set up is a bit different.

Red Dragon, I'd consider making one of these for you if you don't mind running around and getting all the parts. When school is over, mid may, send me an email if you're interested. I could send you a shopping list, you bring me the stuff, and I'll rout the parts and glue it together. Or, if I get a much bigger tank (not likely) I'd sell this one and build a bigger one. Just the parts will cost, though. We got most of the stuff cheaper because the teacher orders stuff wholesale. For example, if you could find the 6"cast tube, you would expect to pay $3 a linear inch, at least. And, I don't have the necessary saw blade and jig to cut the tube. If you're really motivated, call around for an estimate for a 16" long 6" cast acrylic tube. If it's less than $50, I'll be surprised. This is why so many "bargain" skimmers and reactors, and sumps, are made out of extruded acrylic.

My reactor is now up and running on my system. So far, so good.
