Bio-pellet reactor

[Paul B]

I built a bio reactor just for the heck of it. I think they are a silly invention and I don't need one but they look so cool that I needed to build one. I have all the building materials laying around so it only took an hour. Now I need to get some bio pellets and install the thing.
It will also not need a pump as the pump that feeds my skimmer will supply this and the skimmer and the algae filter. I may also connect that same pump to feed my Reverse UG filter, but I don't want to get to carried away. It is just a hobby and I like building things. :dance:

Looks good!

We won't make fun of you for trying to be hip. Well maybe a little.

You can make fun at me, I still think it is a stupid invention, but cool looking. When I get tired of it, I will turn it into something else. Maybe a flat screen TV or an orange juice press.
Besides, it's better than my skimmer

:der:

Your tank wont like bio pellets. Too new school. Your corals will laugh at them.:rofl:

 

[Paul B]

It will probably crash, but thats OK, it has to crash sometime. :jaw:

Nice job with the biopellet reactor......wait till you see what you will pay for the pellets.....Please do a DIY on those!


But better yet, I like the telephone on the right of this picture. I think I've seen one of those in the Smithsonian. :bigsmile:

Does it breed blackworms?!!!?!?!?!

 

[Paul B]

Every time I post that picture people comment on that phone. Remember, all phones used to look like that and that is my basement so that phone, or a similar one has been hanging there since the early 80s. I was thinking of making my own bio reactor pellets, I do have an idea, but I won't say what it is as it will probably kill everything in my tank and I will try it out in a small tank with local fish. I also don't want to put pellet manufacturers out of business.:smash:My blackworms have their own area in my workshop. :bounce:

There are no blackworms for sale in montana.

You have to move away from Montana to a place that sells blackworms. My criteria for a living place is that it must have at least one ocean and at least two places that sell blackworms. :smash:
