Co2 tank, reg and bubble counter not included. Works well for a moderately stocked tank.

Kari what are you doing with your tank? :eek: First dibs on a piece of that yellow thing if you're making serious changes.

Please provide more info and the asking price.
Thanks
Asking price is half of what I paid ($140.) The unit has been running for about 4-5 months.
-DIY project
-approx 20" tall 4.5" dia (holds about 1 container of ARM)
-down flow design
-1/4" acrylic
-recirc line from top and bottom
-fittings are JG and Spears except bulkheads(unknown)
-1/2" fittings at pump connection
-suitable pump = Mag2 not included
-gravity or siphon fed ( no pump needed for supply line when located adjacent or below typical sump or tank)
-no problems with cavitation
There should be a thread by Canadian Man in the DIY with photos and more details or I can post a photo when I return to Calgary

I'm not getting the "Fuzzy Stick" stuff. But please don't explain, I feel I'm better off not knowing.

Deb... outside the box... so not in the aquarium... ah ha! You're going to start drinking water high in calcium to strengthen your bones for your upcoming world-record free-fall attempt!
Really though, I'm at a loss.

Well, you could think clams....but that may or may not be the answer..... :lol: :razz:
I didn't have much to do one weekend so I made another one. It was planned to be a weekend project. Yah right, 200km and a dozen trips to Rona and misc stores later its done. Its larger than the last one. Haven't been home to check how its running. I think I now have more fittings on the shelf in my garage than HD and Rona combined :confused:
