Hey everyone, I'm looking to get a custom reactor made as I'll be switching from Zeovit to Biopellets. Does anyone know a company or someone that deals with acrylic both clear and coloured as I'd like to keep my red and white theme going with my sump. This is basically what I'm looking for:

Just the base and acrylic column, and lid.
I'm looking for slightly thicker acrylic as I want this to be well made and made to last. I'm looking for high quality workmanship, let me know if anyone knows someone good.

Thanks!

I normally use JT Custom Acrylics for my stuff, but I am not sure he does stuff like this. There are some nice factory reactors. I use the Octo BioChurn 120R and am loving it so far. Mind you, it is red and grey, not red and white. I think vertex does one in red and white

Are you sticking to the recirculating biopellet reactor? What amount of pellets are you looking to use. I think that it will be more cost efficient to purchase a rebuilt one.

There is a nice one on aliexpress for cheap that is red and white. Vertex makes a reactor that is red and white, but not recirculating. Their recirculating ones are red with grey

Yeah I want to stick with a recirculating reactor, my plan was to use a reef octopus DC pump as my recirculating pump and then feed the whole thing off of my plumbing manifold. The reef octopus pump is red and white thus why I plan to use it. I have three of the 1.5L Vertex reactors in red and white and don't want to use that reactor for biopellets as it doesn't seem like it would tumble the amount of pellets i need effectively. My system is 400g so I may need to use up to 2000ml of biopellets. So I'll need a relatively large reactor. I like the idea of the aliexpress reactor however it's too small, a similar one but larger may work. I was debating on using the reef octopus BR2000SS Biopellet reactor with the DC pump as this reactor is larger enough and red. This reactor is quite expensive however.
