Prefilter unit as reactor/heater

[chrisfraser05]

Has anyone seen these?

I was wondering if it would be any use to modify as a CO2 reactor and also wondered if the top had enough room I could cut it to fit a heater into it???

Maybe with a bit of tweeking?

At first I thought it was quite small but 1.5lts is still a pretty good size.

i like the second one i wonder how bigger tank it would work on

Yea it seems ok. Thinking about it its about the length of an AM1000 (I think) but is wider so should mean the water passes slowly through it.
I think I would have to have a play with the length of the inlet and outlet hoses etc but I could make it work.

I'm going to just get a Hydor 300 external heater to run off my canister and then run this with a small external pump, maybe a maxijet 900.

I don't see why it won't work on a tank the size of mine (300lt) without too much issues bar some messing about to begin with.
