Has anyone made their own algae reactor similar to the Aquamaxx desktop reactor? I know some people use marina breeder boxes, but I don’t have the room to mount one, making a desktop pump-fed design a little more practical.

This is an Aquatop reactor with Amazon LED strip lights and gaffers tape.
Just hook a powerhead up and you are all set.

If you don't need a large one, use a 2lf media reactor or the simplicity reactor or any that you can find.
