302 Aquatics algae scrubber

[Shinister]

BUYER BEWARE 302 Has issues with no/poor service.
I have had my 302 for a little over a year and 2 of the 4 lights went out and the holes always clog. The seam also came loose on the acrylic box, so I had to reglue that as well. I bought the 4 light unit and think I need to mod it to get it to work right.
Is there a link to mod the 302 scrubbers for better performance, wish I would have bought a Floyd Turbo.

I bought my 302 used so I couldnt ask for support but I had to make some modifications to mine. My holes would always clog too so I used one of those wire looms that are used to protect wire bundles. The spray pipe is 1/2" so I got some 1" wire loom, cut it to the length of the pipe, cut the open slit a little wider and placed on top of the pipe. Havent clogged since. The 2700K lights that came with it would have moisture building up inside the unit. I opened it up to see whats going on and sure enough there was water inside it and some of the metal parts were rusted out. I bought these lights and hung them up with some hooks. It's working great now but if this one cracks or the seams come open, Im definitely getting one from Turbo.

That's worse than I thought. Someone is going to be hurt by those lights; see LEDsafety.org

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY..........

Just out of curiosity, how is the sump holding up, any leaks? Hard to find 1 year+ reviews on them. I picked up a 302 Aquatics sump from my friend (Storage kept for a year).

Thanks in advance.
