Hi all, came accross this turf algae scrapper while looking at a few fish forums and i have to say it seems to good to be true but on seen the results that some lads have posted i am seriously thinking of trying it out.
I am setting up a 440 litre or 116 US gallon marine tank over the next few weeks and want to see what i need and what is the best setup for me to try. The tank has a sump so i think one of the sump designs would suit me best but which one???
For this size of tank what size mesh do i need.
And what flow do i need over the mesh, is a feed from the tank return the best way or is a feed from a pump better.
It is critical that the setup is not noisy or smelly or the wife will be smacking me with the frying pan :shock: :shock:
An and all advice warmly welcomed
Should of put this at the top of posting but hey, name is Jeff and i live in Ireland, original from Dublin but living in Meath. I have being keeping tanks for a few years now but this is my first marine tank so i am trying to get everything right at startup and i am on plenty of forums to hopefully learn from other peoples mistakes. Any other paddys on here????
Cheers
Jeff
