This is my DIY Yugang using a rectangular locking Tupperware style container. It’s a better fit for my space as long as it holds water/pressure which I’ll know soon enough. It has a bulk head style RO inlet for the CO2 and two thru hull fittings with 5/8” hose line inlet and outlet for the pump.

Anxious to hear how this works out.

That's a great idea on the reactor.

Did you take down your other tank?

I did. I was gonna rescape but ended up getting an upgrade when we rearranged our living space.

I’ll be happy to as long as the design holds up I didn’t have any of the parts I needed so total, I think it cost me $70. My goal was to make something that fit my space and customized for ME.

Okay, tank is filled and running great. @JayP the Carolina creek sand looks as advertised IMO now that it’s submerged. Has a light tan/whitish appearance now, which I think can vary depending on your light settings. I’m glad I went with it.

The bad news: my DIY Yugang failed miserably. The thru hull fittings leaked which I think I could have tightened up a bit, but the container itself flowed right past the silicone stopper where it latches. Oh well, I tried lol. I have a few weeks to get a replacement setup so I’m not worried, but I am annoyed.

Yeah, a lot of your cobble shifted to a more tan color also, so it worked out well.
