Pic (another bad one) of my algae scrubber. The screen is 8.5" x 13". pump is a mag7. Do I want the bottom of the screen in the water, or just above it? Or does it not matter either way? i still have to mount some brackets to attach the lights. All input is greatly appreciated.

side note-i've seen some people using zip ties that may have to be replaced every time. At my hardware store i found cable ties called Mille-Tie, that claims they are 100% reusable. The website listed on the package is http://www.watmaninc.com if anyone wants to check it out. I'm not being compensated for the name drop, just sharing, and i apologize if that violated any board rules.

You want the screen in the water to keep the noise and splashing down.

As long as the flow and lights are good, it looks fine.
