Not for mine, i just took inspiration from the other boxes out there, common sense on the plumbing and drains, and decided low profile low voltage lights were what i wanted. If i end up making these id change a couple of bits but not much to be honest
What is that material for the light blockage? What is the wattage of your light? I just need to figure out what to cover the acrylic with to block light and I’m ready to build! I already have a ton of piping, unions and a Neptune apex gro so I could do this for well under 100 bucks myself!Good job! Love the diy! This is one I did a couple months back for a buddy.
The majority of it is black acrylic. The front and back I used clear acrylic “to create a window” and block out viynl which is white inside and black on the outside to keep all the light in.. the light is from Amazon and works amazingly on all of the ones I’ve built.
Is the whole thing 3D printed?
Pretty cool, what material did you use? ABS?

Lights i use now grow 2" thick algae on the screen, every 2 weeks its harvested, those you link to wouls fit with my design im afraidI have an entire box of failed ATS lights. Hundreds of dollars.
No light works better than the strips from Expressions LTD for a DIY. Hands down. They even sell other parts for DIY scrubbers.

LED Grow Light Bar for Algae Scrubbers in salt water or fresh water aquariums grow the algae on a screen, instead of in the tank, and remove bad or excess nutrients from the water without expensive filtration units needed.
