I noticed there is another type of scrubber, UAS which is similar and is submerged.

Yes a ripoff of the ?hog algea scrubber? funny enough by santamonica filtration
This is a good one you wont get the best results but it will work
Make sure it seals nice and the air can get out also you need to keep your glass clean

By the way i purchased the leds from Amazon (i purchased a used one) it came to me flickering so i opened it and two of the three led drivers were deformed and brown so i do recommend you check on them every once in a while so they don't cause a fire

You 110% right.
Mine also ( 6 ) all got bad, i guess , a fan solve the problem:grumpy:.

I mean , if you install a fan in the first place ( when was NEW).

I purchased
AC 85-265V to DC 26-39V 8-12x1W LED Light Waterproof Driver
Its not available anymore i tried linking it here and saw they don?t sell the item anymore but you can definitely find some other brand for cheap just replace them and you should be good
just check the lights every once in a while make sure all is good

A picture of the new driver i bought but you can look for any driver with the correct specs if you look at your old driver it should give you the specs
