EHEIM 2211 + PURIGEN = reactor (it is for those addicted to the magic beans!)

i have used some stuff called wedding veil tulle for a fine mesh before but i dont know if it would stand up to bleaching

my wife says that I can probably find a bag similar to it in hobby lobby, where they have the wedding and babyshower stuff, it seems they used fine mesh bags for that type of stuff, so I ask her to look for them next time she is there.

too bad that dont make a bigger version of The Bag

Your set up is definitely more baller and less work involved. Upgrade the pantyhose to the extra fine mesh and you could recharge it as it is

thanks, I will use the extra fine mesh next time it requires maintenance.

Yeah!, I have been seeing those DIY too which also look good.

The only good thing if you have a 2211 is that it was simple to set since I didn't really had to mod anything, and the pantyhose was able to keep the beans from getting out.

so the container I found was just a plastic bottle that I had for cable ties that fits inside the eheim 2211 perfectly with some room to cover the bottle with a pantyhose, so ofcourse one side already is open the other side I just cut it to fit the height of the eheim. prior to put it in the filter I first put inside a pantyhose which is fine enough to stop the purigen and then insert the whole contraption inside the filter.

Also I forgot to say after the contraption I put a fine layer of poly filter to also avoid any bean to escape if it really happens.

This as me thinking... And it hurts...

I've seen most built with the water filter housings that you find at HomeDepot for drinking water, etc. powered by a low gph pump to ensure a good length of contact time.

Raul, what did you find to use inside the 2211 that was fine enough to hold in the purigen?

[sunkenmetal]

after ek mentioned purigen reactors in another thread ive been looking at all the diy stuff on the web.

[aquabee]

That's pretty cool.

[sunkenmetal]

looks good man

Hmm, good idea. I may try putting a stocking around the middle tray in my eheim 2028 to get the same 'fluidized purigen' effect.
