***********************************
Building
the CO2 Reactor:
*********************************** |
|
|
1)
Cut 4 pieces of "thin air tubes" from other fish accessories.
|
|
|
|
|
2)
Creating a 'tiny hole' in a plastic tube.
(Please
be careful with any sharp objects, wear a glove if need be!)

|
|
|
|
3) Glue the tiny air
tubes to the holes with silicon gel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Glue with the aid
of a needle as a support & to prevent silicon gel from flowing into
the holes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) Four needles
supporting the 4 tiny air tubes to the plastic tube.
