Unless you love doing DIY projects, I would juse buy one... They are 35 bucks normally and will save a headache... I just built one and after buying everything it cost me 25.00 and for 7 bucks more at my LFS i could have bought one and it would be easier...

this is true, unless you want a huge one that will hold pounds of GFO

you should connect the two reactor in series if you haven't already.. pump to the carbon first then to gfo. but make sure there's a valve going into the gfo
