Ha, not sure anyone would want to watch a reality tv show of this build. It would likely consist of me pondering over something for the majority of an episode with constant dog barking in the back ground.
It will probably be a few months before I build the algae reactors. Currently they are designed similar to the ARID reactors. However, I am using saltwater to cool the LED heat sink tube as opposed to their patented air/liquid heat sink. My C30 reactor would quickly fill with Chaeto in less than (10) days on my 55 gallon reef when I was running. Therefore, I wanted to have several larger units made to minimize maintenance. I've spent a lot of time experimenting with cleaning the reactor full of Chaeto with only bleach and water. It would easily take an hour a week to take down one reactor and move outside for cleaning. Hopefully this won't be necessary. I'll just have to be extremely careful not to allow any bleach into the main system.
