thanks for the write up. I actually read this article before. But I was curious what is the relationship between algae scrubber vs peripython? do they work together ? do they work against each other?...

How about the role of carbon? Do I need to use carbon or purigen? or completely take out all the chemicals?

My concern is while I remove all of the chemical remedies against phos and nitrate in the tank to get scrubber to start parameters will continute to increase. Is that ok?
