Bored today and made an turf Algae scrubber

[Mechano]

Was bored today and decided to clean up the fish room and figured today was a good day to finally make one of these turf algae scrubbers to try out.
Nothing pretty, but gets the job done. Didn’t spend no money on this, it’s just stuff I’ve had kicking around for years (plumbing, fittings, pumps, light etc.

Interested to see how it performs

This looks great! Funnily enough, I was researching DIY algae scrubbers last week. What light are you using?

To be honest it was an Amazon special. It’s like 3-4 years old. Not even sure what brand it is. Hehe

I use a hob filter with a piece of mesh on the outflow off it - lit by the main reef display light. Works flawlessly

Checked up on the scrubber today diatoms growing so far so it is starting to grow stuff. No turf algae yet though
