FX5 with inline Co2 reactor, flow DIY!

[TyS]

Hooked up a ISTA max mix co2 rector with my new fluval FX5 , but killed the flow too much .. So with about $30 at the hardware store I hooked this up, flow is up and co2 is still mixing and I can change the flow to each easily with the valve
If any one has flow issues adding anything inline, this helps a lot !

that looks awesome. is the ball valve from two little fishies? Also becareful with the mix max. Mine leaked and I couldn't stop it. The company sent me second one but I was too afraid to try it.

Just from a local hardware store, yeah ive heard they can, mine has been good so far , fingers crossed

Really good to keep the flow up and can open it fully at night while theres no co2 to give the tank a good cleqan overnight haha

nice. I ended making a DIY reactor that seems to be doing the job well on my 90g
