3d printed in multiple parts, there is the option for an attachment to hold filter socks in various ways, single, double long or double wide. Also an option for 7" sock and the one I am most excited about is the algae scrubber, algae grows on the white brick and when its full just take it out and put a new brick in no more cleaning mesh screens bleck. looking for feedback, what do you think ? the idea is water fills chamber flows out the front into chosed attachments, can even swap them out filter sock for maintenance algae scrubber, etc

Well that's creative. The issue I see is that algae will grow where it gets flow and light, so in this case, only on the top and maybe a bit into the material itself. You would start over each time, maybe toss some bits on the top or something. Heck it's worth a try, I could be wrong and it could go crazy
