Went to EverythingPlasticCanvas and they have a great selection.
Which is preferred: 7, 10, or 14 mesh?
Also, they do have an "Extra Stiff" version, (probably Viagra impregnated).
Any...
Got that right - the wonderful world of the internet! Our nearest LFS is 55 minutes away; closest fabric store 25 min but didn't have it, even Walmart who used to carry the screen didn't.
Thanks...
Have been looking through tons of posts and could not find much on screen comparisons. I know some of you are using Needle Point mesh and some Carpet mesh.
Also, I have seen the posts where SM has...
SM,
thanks for the response! I do replace the lights every 3 months or earlier, so, not sure of the difference. Am going to check the K value of recent lights bought.

p.s.: Am...
Well, after successfully using an ATS for over a year now, I am wondering is the addition of dosing Vodka would help coral with color and polyp extension.
I really have no algae left in the system...
I truly apologize for the late reply - do not get much o-line time
The only thing I did with the plates is leave them in my Salt Water storage tankk for 3 weeks, that was it. I know that time is...
I have been using 2 cement plates, 8x8", made of normal Portland cement, for many months and it works absolutely great! They are easy to handle, easy to clean, and always leave some algae behind for...
Thank you, KansasNative :)

Soooo,
where did you get them? Could you supply a link please?
Thanks
Rainer
kansanative,
can you please list a link for this light?

I see you can get a 225 LED setup (12" x12") for around $45

Thanks

Although I have not had any Cyano in weeks, a credit to the scrubber, I must say that I never really minded seing it - I always looked at it as the 'beginning of life' which it really was. Of course,...
Welcome to Algaescrubbers.net, Rosenaa!
Your English is just fine!

Hi all,
I had left a thread on RC about my tank being devoid of amphiods - actually have some copepods swimming around (which are difficult to see ), but no amphi's - in a 5g tanks, 20g fuge which...
Since utilizing the ATS and discontinuing the PS, I have seen nothing other than immense growth spurt and color improvement in the SPS and LPS.
Unfortunately, the Xenia types do not do well; I...
I had continued my Ozone initially after setting up the ATS since I still used the OS. I saw no retardation of growth - the ATS went from clean substance to large growth in only 4-5 weeks with a...
I wholeheartedly agree:
Thank you for everything you are doing (time, research, posts, colelctive information)!
Rainer
I am no expert by any means, but have been following the DSB topic for the past several years, wver since seing Anthony Calfo at a Reef meet.
Though it seems to be a great idea, and apparently...
Thank you, Santa!

Curious:
are there any draw backs to using GFO continuously?
Rainer
Beautious!
I mentioned decorator crab, but, they have white claws. With Black claws I have seen them referred as mithrax crabs.
I had two hitchhikers a while ago and did some research - most...
Hey Routesto,
if you look 4 threads below ("Finally: Algae ......") you will see that I made my second, horizontal, scrubber with cement plates.
Easy made: used a wood plate with wooden raised...
Those are truely great pictures! Using an SLR, are you?
Not a crab expert - but he looks sort of like a decorator crab I have. Does he have an oval white 'shield' on his back?
Rainer
Good morning,
I am by no means a food specialist (unless it goes into my belly), but there is a great thread on coral food over at the MarineDepot.com site (http://forum.marinedepot.com/) The...
Hi all,
finally been able to sit and put some of the pictures together.
My tank is 75g, 230W T5 lighting, about 8-9 years old now (was FOWLER for 2 years before that).
I started a little...
I am currently making a horizontal scrubber out of DIY cement plates.
However, went shopping with my wife this weekend one of the purchased items was a "pizza stone' (from Be Bath and beyond)...
You saved my day!
I checked: what I have is DuraBoard which is Mold resistant!
Back to the drawing board,
thanks!
Rainer
thank you for the words of caution
I would have never thought of it containing Mold Inhibitor, but it makes obvious sense! I will check into it.
I thought that the curing of cement was a...
Hmm,
I am going to try and cut myself a couple of squares of cement board (underlayment) this weekend and use regular portland to make 3 sided lips. If it works, I will post a pic. I hope there is...
Looking at the cement underlayment I had at home, it appears pretty porous. I think it will work as is. Will try this once my current prototype of a vertical is completed.
I spoke to my sister in...
I like your idea about using ceramic!
I have been playing with the idea of using cement, maybe a 3/8 underlayment (used when tiling floors). Will see how you progress and possibly follow suite.
...
Excellent!
thanks for the revamp of your mental notes - that gives me an idea of what to expect, also remembering notes written by SantaMonica,
Good luck!
Rainer
I am actually lucky - one of our LFS's is extremely customer friendly and is actually interested in adapting a scrubber pending how it all turns out. One of the employees has been using a scrubber as...
Chompers,
great stuff! How long 'til the screen was fully mature?

thanks for contributing to my thread at RC (same sign on name),
Rainer
Wow,
that is absolutely amazing!
Just tried a search and all it gives is a blank white page - tried with non-'scrub' search and it went fine.
I was amazed, actually, to find a forum...
Thank you, SantaMonica, all clear now!
Rainer
This may sound like a silly question (sorry), but:
since sides of screens are cleaned alternately, and cleaning is every 7 days, does this mean that each specific side is cleaned every 14 days,...
Excellent!
I am even thinking of placing a slanted horizontal 'plate' under the two vertical screens to reduce splash and add a scrubber area. Any thoughs? Should work
Rainer
Thank you for the helpful information,
Rainer
Hello all,
1st off, thank you both Worley and SantaMonica for a great site and great information! I've been following SataMonica's threads at MD for a while, and now here.
I have built a...
