Hi boys and girls!
This tank has been running since aprox. the end of last year and the experimentel scrubber was set up in the begining of this year...

[anders moon]

here there is some pictures of the "ats"!
light 20 pieces of 660nm led 3 watts

flow 3000l/h + the return pump 2300l/h

canvas is small egg size live rocks. that way i can take out a few for every cleaning and my theory is to avoid the spikes of NO3 and PO4...

Looks like it's on it's way to a year of a trouble-free setup.

[anders moon]

this tank has now been running for allmost a year...
routines:
Waterchanges- I can only manage to put in fresh water to keep the salt paremter in check. My gold are to do about 30L. water change every month just for the sake of the minerals...

Food- three time flake food and one cube (artemia) evere day.

There is also a small pavona cactus one medium size Wonder coral and a large euphylia

I just checked the nitrate and the result was 3... Im up to 13 fish and they eat two cubes and three times dry flake each day!

The algae is on the retreat and I think it is because of snails in the filter... Up to now I have basically harwested the algae. all the snails eats the algaes and they have to go away:-)

the light is on 10 hours of 24 each day!

You probably want to keep the snail off of the scrubber. Unless you are trying to grow snails :)

[anders moon]

true that

update...
I Have concluded that snails and worms won the battle of the filter! In the end I was scared to get bitten an sucked in to the filter and eaten by giants worms.. they were pretty ugly!
Now I have got rid of all the rocks and worms... and plastic canvas is the way!
Oh and I changed the plastic sump aswell
