    I know where to order them online, but thought I would check to see if anyone has them extra in the club.    They are the thumb screws that hold the lid of my calcium reactor down.   I am missing, well I broke 3 of them and now the reactor leaks.   If anyone has some extra PM me and I will buy and come get them.  
    Here is a pic , they are the white screws on the top.

    Have you tried Menards or Lowes? They have specialty things like that in their hardware sections. Usually they are in bins/drawers, and sold individually.

    I got some thumb screws, but they are metal. Not sure if this would make a difference since water never touches the screws. Any thoughts on using them intil I can order the new reactor.

    if they are metal make sure they are stainless steel so they won't rust.

    I would use them temporarily until you get your new reactor since it doesn't come in contact with water. GFO is essentially rust and we use it in our tanks.
