I'm using a 1000L pump per hour to power the reactor.

The total height of the reactor can be smaller, just in the printout cut the height of one of the pieces

The led pole files adjust the height because in the end, the Ledstrip going to coil over it.
You can print how many separator disks you want, i use 4.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

3D printing settings

Layer Height- 0.2000
Infill - 30%
Infill Pattern - HoneyComb
Walls - 5
Top - 6
Bottom - 6

Add a little bit more flow, like 115% to make it leakproof.
