      I actually attached the lights to the black ABS tube so they weren't on the reactor itself and I incoporated a cooling fan on the side wired into the same power supply, that way the reactor just slides in and out of the light tube for easy cleaning and such

      This is awesome work! I love the idea of the black tube and cooling fan, that is genius.

      4" ABS pipe from Home Depot lol I just notched the bottom out for airflow to come up through the bottom, past the LEDs, than out the drilled hole With the fan over it blowing outward away from the reactor, surprisingly the Aquamaxx FRS reactor fit perfect

      The notches on the bottom really caught our eye!
