So I took my algae scrubber offline because it kept getting clogged by the quick disconnect also wasn't growing algae as much as my other friends who had the same scrubber. (They had replaced the stock flood led to a magenta led) So... I decided to modify my algae scrubber. Still debating if to sell once I upgrade everything or use it. Right now my nutrients are really low. .03 phosphates. Anyways this is what I had before... (the old Led housing was rusting as well)



So next I removed the Leds and cleaned it all up.



Then I decided to add vinyl so the opening is a lot smaller so the light wont spill everywhere.



I decided to be lazy and used these to hold up the light and they worked! lol


With the lights on...






came out a lot nicer than I expected (I'm not a DIY guy) :p

Next I gotta redo the plumbing where the water goes in and also trim the plastic canvas and sand it so the algae grows better.

Will update as I go.
