As I needed to make a new sump for my tank ( shallower to allow easier maintenance) I decided to knock up a floating scrubber.
I have had great success with my old downfall scrubber so lets see if I can get the same results but with easier maintenance...

I picked up 2 20w red LED lamps and made a simple 2 chamber box. Each chamber has 4 air intakes and 4 return holes ( not drilled yet )
I still have to epoxy some crushed coral sand about half way up the box and glue the 'strings'.

Heres what it looks like so far.....

Any more progress on this one? It looks like this could be an algae growing machine!
