I purchased a Korallin C-1502 Ca reactor with a 10# CO2 bottle and they both fit (snuggly) in the lower cabinet. I'm still in the process of setting up my tank and have not updated my pics. yet. Also, I'm thinking of making a change before I start up the reactor....I'm going to start off by converting my reactor to a Korallin S-1502 Sulphur BioDenitrator reactor. This should reduce my NO2 and NO3's within 2-3 weeks plus add some calcium to boot. Once all the numbers are within range, I'll convert back to strickly a ca. reactor (by removing sulphur media and adding back CO2 injection).

wow. i'd love to see how you fit in a 10 lbs co2 tank in there. I was shooting for a 5 gal tank. Can't wait for the pics.

I'm still trying to figure out posting picsHopefully, my pics came through so you can see that the CO2 bottle does fit under the cabinet with the Korllin C-1502 reactor.
