So I have added a turf scrubber to my tank. Took about 45 minutes to make once I had all of the parts. Purchased:
5 Feet of 3/4" PVC $1.18
3/4" end cap $0.35
2x 3/4" elbow fittings $0.56
1" to 3/4" bushing $0.57
3/4" union $3.56
PVC cement and Primer $6.96
Grow Light $5.98
Clamp Light $6.08
Plastic Canvas $0.39
Grand Total: $25.63
Keep in mind I did not have to buy a pump as I already had an additional outlet plumbed into my return line to my tank. So the return pump is feeding both the return line and the algae scrubber.
I will be adding a second light to the back of the scrubber.
I put the union in for easy removal to clean the scrubber.
I will post more pics in a week to show the algae growth.
