My Algae Surge Scrubber! (I'm sure GARF could come up with a better acronym, but I thought what the heck, I'll give it a shot LOL!)
I first introduced this build under the forum thread called PULSED FLOW (http://algaescrubber.net/forums/showthread.php?2731-Pulsed-flow/page3) post#24.
Since the screen that I was using was from my waterfall scrubber I decided to take that out and start with a brand new roughed up screen.
Here was the new screen after 7 days:
43824383
Here was the new screen after 9 days:
4384438543864387
And here is the screen after 13 days:
4388438943904391
The box was getting filled with algae so I took it apart to clean it up and took some pictures of the screen out of the water:
4392
Here is the A.S.S. box by itself:
4393
Here is the screen attached to the bubble bar (I cleaned some of the algae off because there was a few places that had the black oily crud on it, am going to put the lighting period back up to 16 on/8 off):
4394
Here is the screen placed back into the A.S.S. container:
4395
And here it is up and running again:
