So I built yesterday for my 2ft cube an algae scrubber.

I think I may have grossly overestimated the size of my screen.

It's 6 inch by 8 inch. I want the ability to feed say a 2x2" piece of nori, 1 cube and 5-10 pitches of flake a day.

The screen sort of has to be 8 inches down the way or it'll just make a lot of splashing as its the only way I can fit the bulbs in a good position.

What would you reccommend I do to the 6x8 inch screen I've already built? And what wattage bulbs if I need to cut the size down?

I can only fit mu bulbs both sides of the screen across the way, no room to have spotlight bulbs facing it.

Cheers.

Its a bit oversized but i dont think its too far off.. i would just use what youve already built. If down the line you are still getting yellow rubbery growth then you can just feed a bit more. ;)
