how deep are you making it so I can figure out the volume, I have some 9" tube I am sure we can come up with something :mrgreen:

well got all the holes drilled and the bulkheads installed. main tube is glued on and routed out, also got the becket foam tubes made (well 1/2 made anyways)

ignore the small tube ontop.. was just using a chunk of dirty 4" to get a feel for the hight. I will be using 6" for the actual riser.

Why is your base that big ???

BECAUSE SIZE MATTERS

Just2Bad 04-06-2004 05:01 PM

in my mind it's the height and the dia of the column, where contact time occur that is important not the base ???

to provide stability (water is going to be up the main colume a ways) and also to allow enuf room to ensure I can prevent bubble from getting out.

Aren't you concerned about overskimming?
