Thanks. At 1, or even 2 liters a minute, you can get away with using pretty
small tubing right? Could I build a reactor using something like a 3/8th
inch tubing maybe?? Does anyone have or use a reactor with small tubing or
are most reactors built with large, say 1/2 inch tubing?
Thanks, sorry for the silly questions, but I have not owned or built one of
these, and I am trying to find the easiest way to build this thing.
TIA everyone,
Shane C.
