thery are pretty easy to make i've made one. one 1/8 tube from the tank is connected to the inlet of a pump with a tee other part of the tee connects to another 1/8" tube that connects to you co2 the third part of the tee is connected to 1/2 inch pvc and connects to the bottom of the reacter below the media for circulation the fourth part of the tee is connected to the inlet of the pump. the outlet of the pump is connected to the top of the reaction chamber. besides the pipe that goes into the top of the reactor from the pump there is a 1/8 tube that has a valve that goes back to the tank it sounds confusing trust me its so easy go to your lfs and look at them and there are a lot of aquarium diy sites it will cost you roughly a 100 to make it but it saves you a lot when mine was done the calcium level in my tank was never below 440
