i placed the order for a 6' long 6" diameter acrylic pipe.
cant wait to receive it next week Tuesday
to start building :smile: a 24" tall reactor.

Reactor
 

When you get the pipe you also should look at buying the glue at the same time maybe "Acrylic 16". You need to able to open and close the one end.
How are doing this?:question:

i just received the tube and i got weldon 16. excited.
i will post photos maybe later this evening for the plumbing parts.

Tagging along:lol:

cutting
 

You must be very careful when cutting the acrylic tube. Do not let it get hot as this can cause micro fishers. It is also important to make sure the joints you are connecting are clean and straight. Good Luck, Don
