My DIY Algae Turf Scrubber - 3d printed

[PPBlimpy]

Just figured I would share.

This was the first go around, have some tweaks I have made and will reprint again eventually as I want to ad one to my other system.

It was designed to straddle a 10G petco special cheapy tank. I also printed an input/heater chamber w/ 4" filter sock and a return pump housing.

Designed by me with fusion360 and printed on a 15 year old Creality CR-10

I have also made brackets that allow me to hang on the side of a larger sump and it currently being utilized in my Big system. brought my little system to undetectable nutrients while I was on vacation.

Next revision will be about 1" wider, thicker acrylic, and a better sealing area for the pipe. Also looking into a dimmable light as this is a bit intense!

I definitely need this! What kind of lights are those you are using?

Would this fit an emerald trigger 39 sump?

I generally do not share my designs. Have found a couple of my early items being sold.

No idea if it would fit. Not sure the dimensions but I am sure I can adjust.

The lights are 35w grow lights off amazon. I will see if I can find the link.

So I thought they were 35w. I need to double check now because I believe these are them but mine may be an older model.

These are 100w. May explain why the center won’t grow anything.

Would you be selling the STL? The ones i find are just not to my liking.
