Thanks for the heads-up. I did see this posting selling the scrubber, but I've discovered it's around the same price to get one built to my specific requirements.

I'm over-feeding the fish somewhat because there are fry that should eat twice/day in order to grow more quickly, and no water changes.
I'm going to test the scrubber on a tank without plants to...
Hi everyone,
My FW upflow algae scrubber gives thick green algae every 7 days. My nitrates have been 0 the whole time since the scrubber has been functioning, but I noticed something today.

Not sure if this is the right area for a post of this nature, but I just wanted to advise everyone that sharing new or innovative ideas on a forum that have not been patented could result in someone...
This is really interesting. I haven't had the chance to read the whole thing yet, but was wondering if a "3D substrate" meant something like a vertical waterfall down the substrate, or something...
Yep, that would be it! :) Thanks buddy!
Hi all,
My scrubber has been running for 4 weeks now on my freshwater 10 gallon aquarium with good weekly harvests.
However it seems that when the algae starts growing around profusely around...
I will be following this thread, as I've been looking for something else as well.
Well, I'll keep trying with my Finnez build and see how that goes. At the moment I should be able to integrate the algae scrubber and the biological filtration into the refugium, which is something...
Too bad the Millenium 3000 filter has been discontinued. :( There are some that are similar but seem to lack the venturi option.
Hey! Yeah, the link worked. I just saw it now.
I love the venturi pumps-- I didn't think of those as an option! I keep wanting to put an airstone inside the filter box, but if I had one of...
cool- I can't seem to find them...
Hmmm... I tried to find the thread about the other HOB in your posts, but couldn't. Do you remember what the thread was called?
Is that the one where you attached a trough to the outlet of a HOB filter? That's a great idea!
I'll be waiting patiently. :)
That looks awesome. I wonder why they haven't tried to commercialize it?
Hi!
Has anyone ever thought of or actually build a hang-on-the-back UAS before? I sort of envision the SM algae scrubber, but attached to the outside of the tank, maybe immersed in some large...
I don't suppose you have any of these left, four years later? lol
Wow, you actually found one of these? I've been looking for years and haven't had any success. If you know anyone wanting to unload one at some point be sure to let us know. :)
I'm also...
Wow, this looks great! I'm glad to know that the 13W CFL for plants works well. This is the kind I plan on using if I ever get to build a scrubber of my own. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Slightly off topic, I found this little thing on ebay which I've been looking for / thinking about making for a long time. Maybe its design could help you a little.

I'm looking for a Santa Monica 100 AS, either used or new. I can't build one myself because of time & space...
Wow! Thanks so much. That saves me a LOT of time.
Was it stuck right on the plexiglass covering the screen? I'm just curious.
Floyd-- Thank you so much for this valuable, detailed information! I'm relatively new to forums, and so I didn't locate that post you linked about AS basics. A wealth of information and ideas.

Hey everyone!
I'm really glad I found this forum! It has been incredibly helpful.
I do have a question though which might not be simply answered: Is there a wattage/square inch of light...
