My question how big should I make my screen.
I don’t how much I am going to feed so also don’t know how big my algea scrubber must be.
I current have 10 x 3wat deep red led and I have 20wat led driver
Is this enough ? is used calculator it say is get around 1.5 cube a day ?
I searched how much people feed but didn’t have muchb result

[Arno]

oh it wil get live rock maybe some corals
it curent have a few softies

[SantaMonica]

Probably will feed about 2 cubes a day.

You can make the scrubber 10 X 15 cm, and put as many LEDs on it that the driver will operate.

Did you want upflow or waterfall?

[Arno]

Waterfall
I think i am going to use about 9 red led on a 20wat driver so
All the led are at 75% of their max power.
I maybe later ad a extra driver but.
It is going to be a while when all fish are inside
Can I immeadlty use the scrubber on ful power hen feeding only 0,5 cube a day

[SantaMonica]

Yes can use the scrubber right away. Make it 2-sided.

[Arno]

I am looking but one side is much easier for me.
Because then in make the red led fixed. In my cabinet.
What is the recommen space/distance between led--> plexiglas -->and scrubber.

[SantaMonica]

Try 10 cm from LED to scrubber.

[Arno]

I can place a plexi glad sheet 5mm between them

[SantaMonica]

That is fine.

[Arno]

10cm for led in calculator is says 2-5 cm
10 cm i about 4 inches is really not to much ?

[Arno]

an placing on my return is that a problem ??

[Arno]

and question when i place the scrubber on the return.
i made a kind of save but is this enough pressure or wil it immeadialty overflow

5474

[SantaMonica]

Depends on the LED shape. If the LED lens is flat, then 5 cm is ok. If the LED has a clear part shaped like a ball, then 10 cm is good.

[SantaMonica]

The picture you show is not the return, it is the drain.

You can do that. I have not heard of one overflowing yet.

[Arno]

Yes i mend drain

Oke is back bypass will extra but you will never now
Thanks for you answer I am building the PVC to morrow

Here are Some picture
IT are 10 led 3wat deel red
Hooked up on à 20w led driver
THE led are covered in hot glue
I didn't glue smal lens

[SantaMonica]

Test the LED to see if they melt the hot glue. If so, you will need to use clear silicone instead.

[Arno]

i tested om 0,6A And THE don't melt

[SantaMonica]

Ok good you should be ready :)

[Arno]

I am just waiting for return pump to arrive and my uv lamp
Question dat a closed uv unit avect algae scrubber

[SantaMonica]

No, a UV does not affect scrubber.

[Arno]

I didn't thought either.
But just to make sure

[Arno]

Have started without feeding I have got 14 days 35 grams of algea

[SantaMonica]

That is good for no feeding.
