OK, so I've been buying the stuff to put together an algae scrubber over the past week or so. I finally picke up the last few piece today so I took a stab at putting it together while watching TV tonight. (Note: Using a Dremel in the living room is messy.)
The whole thing went off without a hitch, really. It's chugging away on the tank now. Now we'll see if it makes any algae.
Here's my parts list:
3/4" PVC
PVC Endcap
PVC elbow (slip/threaded)
3/4 to 1/2" threaded to hose barb
1/2" tubing
maxijet 1200
Portable hanging folder box
Two 5" shop lights.
2 CFL bulbs
Here are some pics:
