I really am in two minds where to go now looking at how easily that chewed up, but then I guess if you cross thread a plastic thread then its gonna be toast pretty easily.
As you will see from my journal, I finally got the last replacement part for the damaged filter from Charterhouse. It may be that I have to wait until the new year to buy the CO2 gear with the expense of Christmas and a wedding coming up that I am travelling to. The other complication I will have with the Sera is my filter is so big that the top is quite high in the cabinet, so somehow I would need to get the tubing up from the connector, then bend it down to the reactor which is not going to be so good for flow as having the tube going straight up in to an inline and then straight out the back of the cabinet and up to the spray bar.
It's going to be Thursday before I have time to get the filter put together and see how things fit in the cabinet, but when the time comes I will really appreciate your participation on my journal thread to put a plan together on how it would potentially fit.
