Wanted to design and build a HOB algae scrubber for my IM Nuvo 40 fusion. This iteration will have an acrylic window for the LEDs, and a 2mm slot inside for the mesh sheet to grow the algae. Plan is to just have a small pump with a vinyl tube running into the HOB from the rear section of the AIO. I figured it will hold 1.125 liters or 38 oz of water. Not sure it would have much of an impact on 40 gallons of water, but its just a project for fun.

Waiting on the silicone to dry to the acrylic. Designed a lit, and a plate that the LEDs will mount on. Will print and update once those are finished.
