I have finaly got around to milling up a Copper version of my Lemon Block. The Aluminum version beat out my Maze 4 by 1C so I decided to make a Copper one with some modifications to take advantage of Copper.

Unfortunatly the 1/4" acrylic top is a NO GO. It has to much flexability and doesn't snug the O-ring down in the middle enough. It worked ok around 250GPH but once I opened the pump up to 500GPH setting it leaked. So I have to make a new top. Havn't decided to try 3/8" acrylic or 1/4" copper yet... So in other words no testing as been done. I hope to have this completed and running by next weekend because if I don't it may not get done for a long time.
