Madreefers New Build/Upgrade

Well the wireless adapters came for my lights and it didnt help the one Sol fixture so it must be the control part of it.

So something new.

Well after a little research I got creative in my basement today and decided to build one of these.
I had some Ecoexotic LED fixtures kicking around, a Mag 8 pump, and a bunch of PVC.

I'll be running the 2 red LED fixtures for 18hrs a day. Supposedly red grows algae. I may have to get some pieces of plastic to block the light from every where else. I'm a little curious to see how this expirement turns out. I guess I really am old school now

Nice controller in the background

What your thought with this new contraption?

Well I asked the question on Algae Scrubbers and no response. So I guess I'll be the guinea pig. I should have tested nitrates first but I haven't had one of those kits for several years.

Day 7 and it's growing algae. I switched the lights to white instead of red. I also cut up a plastic tote and put it on due to the splashing of the waterfall.
