Canister type media reactor. DIY

So I used a Fiber Splicing enclosure. It's normally used in communications underground utility. This particular one was missing most of the insides so unusable at work. I saw a potential project so I brought it home. The plastic used to cut the circles out is plastic that covers a cement box at work. Once they place the equipment on the box the plastic is removed. So again I brought that home. I wanted the ability to put both PhosGuard and Chemipure in one container and remove unnecessary equipment out of my sump. So far since adding the manifold I removed a Little Giant external pump and a maxi jet 1200. The return pump is a Reeflo dart more than capable of handling all this and then some.

So I decided on bulkheads and 3/4" PVC it's sealed tight tested the seal with an air compressor. Pretty impressive so far. After this point I slacked a little due to the holiday and pure laziness. My phosphates were getting outta waco so I figured I better finish up.

So I was starring at the PhosGuard canister wondering how I can keep both media's separate. The it just hit me. So this is the final outcome. Installed, leak tested, adjusted the flow. Now it's online working. I also added the vinyl tubing for easier water changes.

Tank is so much clearer since I added this. I was struggling with Cyano and it seems to be fading away and the clarity of the water is crystal clear. I'm gonna replace the Chemipure Elite with the Blue next.
