Hey guys, new here. I do see alot of scrubbers and I think I can make one for my 10g nano. Just trying to find the right design on the site. I just don't see alot of nano sized scrubbers. Also could I use a screen a little larger then 5x2inches? Maybe 6x5 or so

6x5 double sided would be rock solid if built right. The one I made for the last 55g was 3x sized and I swear you could just about pee in the tank and it wouldn't flinch.LOL

I made a scrubber for my pico tank(1.6gallon). Its only one sided..but if space is a concern then 1 sided is a viable solution. you just need 2x the screen size if your only lighting one side. Its much better to light both sides if possible.

They make smaller 15w CFL bulbs now days. Before I decided to go LED(not reccomended if you just need it to work). I was going to use one of the 15w CFL and use those large twist top Monster energy drink cans as a reflector. The screw of the bulb will fit thru the drink opening.
