Time for a neat contest: The person who can guess what new aquarium product this is (and even better, what it does) wins the first one Serial Number 0001

Actually the first one will be a rough DIY version, to get feedback from people running it in different systems, but it still should work great!

To enter, post here and say what the thing is.

Winner picked soon.

Hope you win!

@slipknot2443: all-in-one aquarium algae scrubber



FORUMS:

xxkenny90xx on pnwmas: algae scrubber for nutrient export

ladashark on pnw: completely enclosed, with particularly high surface area to make it more efficient. Of course, it is used to remove nitrates, phosphate, and some level of organics in the water. I see that it appears to have some sort of removable tray or the like at the bottom. Curving inwards to make it easier to pinch and pull out. Maybe to remove algae. It could be a light too. slides all the way back (and makes up that surface)

503guy on WRS: Nano protein skimmer

obrien.david.j on pnw: a giant pod TRANSPORT hotel. rip off the black tape on the bottom, put it in your tank, allow the seeded pods to proliferate and mix into your system.

CrazyInside on pnw: an algae scrubber for AIO tanks, like the waterboxes and red sea aios. Looks like it would fit in one of the chambers

Saltfishlover on pnw: Submersible water quality monitor for sump tanks with digital LED display

Pennywise on pnw: bio block for AIO tanks.

gumby on pnw: all in one algae scrubber to be in sump or overflow box

conrad on wrs: In sump scrubber for between baffles

Oregonic on pnw: Gravity fed algae scrubber for an AIO, aka no pump down flow.

eswinej on wrs: nano ato

vetteguy53081 on wrs: Algae scrubber

Krux on pnwmas: Algae scrubber designed to drop in to a filter sock holder

40glnuvo on pnwmas: filter that has a pump inside you place it in the bottom of a tank that has no sand and it cleans detritus so you tank is always clean

joseserrano on socalireefs: Algae reactor for all in ones

We have our first winner of the best guess of all the guesses... Cory Graese !

He guessed: "All in one nano algae scrubber. Self-contained and will fit the back of something like a Fluval Evo or a bio cube. Will also work on normal larger systems with a sump, it can be slid in a sump chamber and not take up much space. Works by either using an air stone or a small contained pump to slowly pass water completely by an LED self contained light as well as an algae growing surface to remove nitrates from the water column."

He wins test unit #1 of the new SLIP.7 scrubber.

Coming up... Contest Part 2 with more details, and a second winner. If you want to see all the Part 1 guesses, they are here:

Time for Contest #2 of the new SLIP.7 from Santa Monica

Winner #1 guessed mostly correctly, that the SLIP.7 will function as a waterfall scrubber combined with a bubble upflow (UAS®) scrubber, but left out one more major function that everyone wants. Can you guess what it is? The most accurate and complete answer wins test unit #2.

Here was Winner #1...

And the winner of Contest #2 is: Edmond Mahmoodi

He was the only one to guess Chaeto! Yes the SLIP.7 is the first combo ATS:

Chaeto Reactor
+
Waterfall Algae Scrubber
+
Upflow Algae Scrubber UAS®

He wins test unit #2, after test unit #1 gets sent to Corey Graese.

Evan Park: Dimable lights for getting the algae started as opposed to shade cloth that may not work in a flow through unit.

Rogelio Gonzalez Rodrigues: Filho Part filter canister

Mitchell Ondrovcik: Dimmable lights/grabber screen &/or removable growth chamber. Uas with grabber growth screen combined with waterfall, so an AIO that has dimmable lights/removable growth chamber for ease of cleaning with a custom designed/printed square shaped flow bar for the waterfall to slide in/out to prevent clogging & achieve better flow rates.

Michael Cacace: Skimmer

Penny Sweets: In addition to having both waterfall and bubble up flow scrubbers, and fitting into AIO rear chambers, my guess is that it’ll have led lights on both sides of the screen for even more growth!
