    New scrubber with 1/2 LED

    I just hooked up my scrubber on my 180. It took forever to setup as I just couldn't find the right place. I have LEDs on one side and power compact bulb on the other. I'll get some pics up later.

    Here is some pics of my scrubber. I am very impressed not only with the growth but the results already are amazing.

    Here is the growth after 4 days. I think its very impressive. It has a great green color to it even though it doesnt show in these pics.

    New scrubber with 1/2 LED

    I'll check when I get home. I've always had a phosphate issue but I know that has to be down because I haven't had any algae on the glass all week

    12 660nm reds and 4 warm whites. All leds came from satisled.com. Heat sinks i got from some old motor controllers at work. Total build cost of leds was around $40 including the meanwell driver. I am quite pleased with the results.
