It need to be above the water, so it's possible in a paludarium.
I have a mudskipper in a 15 gallons paludarium. I feed 1 cube a day but I don't have enough room for a UAS. I was thinking to do a hang on glass waterfall scrubber, so I need a 4x6 screen and I...
phos lower again this week, 20 hours on 4 off seem to do it. Could changing my satisled led for better one could really make a difference to make my scrubber stronger?

Anybody have Melanoides tuberculata with a uas in freshwater. I was thinking they could help as a clean up crew but I'm scare they would eat the algae on my screen!!!
Clean my screen today and 20 hours seem to works well, no burn spot and my phosphate lower a bit. I think I would need to clean my filter more often and removed the poo built up and maybe I could get...
Looks likes the same algea that grow on my screen and I have tanganiakan cichlids too, maybe its the water parameter.
I've already a reflector , I will try 2 jours more ans see!
I'm alrealdy at 18/6 hours could I increase hour or I need more light or bigger screen.
my seachem test don't detect any nitrate now but my phosphate are at 2 ppm.
Harvest after 15 days, anybody in freshwater I've try to let grow for more then 14 days. Best harvest of all, may try more days next time. Nitrate are still around 5ppm and phosphate at 1 ppm

I've buy a hagen phosphate test kit last week, hard to read but they're around 1 and 2.5. I never really check phosphate before in freshwater but somebody ask me on a cichlids forum here in Quebec...

I'm using 2 660nm and 1 455nm blue on a 3.75x4 screen with no problem.
I'm off for the week, will find some time to post new pic. Test nitrate today, still around 5ppm after one week. I've up my feeding a bit as I have fry all over the place. I've weight all the food...

I'm interested in you're nitrate reading to, my algae look different than yours...
Ebay was the only way here in Quebec to find plastic canvas.
Normaly my nitrate will raise to more then 50 ppm in one week, so for me its really good, enough to stop doing WC. I still need to weight the food I give as it way under the guideline but my fish...
wow, tested my nitrate tonigh here a pic i'm speechless. The pic looks different but its under 5ppm.

they stay at around 15ppm but without waterchange. I feed a mixed of golden pearl, spiruline and NLS 2 times per days maybe I should weight it...
2 weeks since last cleaning, best grow so fare, left side have grow long enough so air bubble stay stuck in algae and seem to help grow, Should I clean or try a few more day.
...
Retest nitrate today, they are still around 15ppm maybe a bit lower and algae still growing...
Wow, hope mine would look like that someday. The algae seem the same as mine but yours are alot longer then mine!
One week since the last clean up. Burn spot now i've disappear and algae fill all the hole and look different than the algae it grow before I change back to perforated airline, looks a bit like...
I've removed my canister without any problem and my nitrate start to go down, Ive remove the biomedia in my aquaclear 500 still no problem. I'm now running only the aquaclear 500 with a sponge that I...
I think I'm still having some potassium from my planted tank days, gonna give it a try in my tank!
Could dosing potassium could help any screen to get better grow or its works only in case where phosphate are to high?
measured my nitrate today, 15ppm, first time they get so low.
I remember having seen Floyd suggesting to used number 7 screen that what I'm using. My screen is small, 2.75 inch by 4 inch.
After 5 days with the royal blue led and 3 weeks of grow I decided to clean my screen. The algae are a lot harder to scrap, don't know if its the blue led or normal with time. Hole starts to fill up...
I've finally find some time to solder my royal blue led and add it to the box. I was thinking that I may used a second timer to control the royal blue led as I've now 3 x 3w 660 nm led and 1 x 3w...
You don't have any mechanical filter or sump?
I have no lens on my leds!
I have a piece of 3 foot by 4 of diffuser, so I have enough to try a few way!
I could glue another small piece of diffuser on the back of my main diffuser or maybe I would try the ink dot in front of the led from Floyd!!! I let it grow for a few day or I clean???
It's now 2 weeks I clean my screen and rough it again, so I've start with nearly a new screen.

I've still not add the blue led but I up the hours to 18 on 6 off and algae seem to respond well. I've add a small piece of plastic to direct the bubble more on the screen but its to soon to tell if...
Did it make any difference in the tank ?
And how goes your nitrate? Did it come down?
Ok thanks, I will buy a new acdc adapter!
I've buy a multimeter and I'm noob. I've try to find some information over the net but I'm not sure exactly what I have to do. When I check the voltage that came from my 12v acdc adapter, and from...
I've just receive a respond from Satisled for my driver, they simply tell me to hook it on any 12v ac/dc! It's time for a multimeter I think!

Nice pic!
I have already remove the biomedia from my aquaclear 500 without ill effect!
My canister filter is full of bio media too, 3 drawers. I will remove 1 drawer at the time and monitor! But I will give it a few more week!
