I hope this isnt a dumb question but has anyone tried a waterfall scrubber and instead of just ending an inch or so in the water going down so you have a submerged screen with an airstone at the bottom and of course lighting for the waterfall portion and for the submerged portion. Have no idea if this would work just have read threads on how different algaes grow on the 2 different setups and that pods seem to produce better on the UAS so would it work to construct a combination scrubber that would then have the best of both?

Welcome.

Yes that's a developed design. The more bubbles and air/water turbulence the better:
