ALGAE TURF SCRUBBER:
On a 90G DT/25G Sump
T5-HO 192 Watt Acrylic Box Design Above Sump
Approx Screen 22" Width x 13" Height

On my 20G with 60 kenya tree's on rack's no skimmer or refuge/ats,medium flow 10 lb's LR 3"dsb I was up to 1 cup a day of phyto with a highpowered ats I could not imagine yet how much phyto a person...
Imo If you want to learn about the potential of phyto in regard's to coral growth and available live food it is best to set up a 20G frag tank that also can be a quarinteen tank this will allow you...

That's crazy cool would love to have that system for propagating very high end coral's lol
I'll get my goggle's
cool was really hoping to save the other 4 each side for later when the heavy nutrition dosing begin's
was wonder if 3 canvas would make it sturdy enough and some really good roughing up would do should I use really rough sand paper or a wire brush or a combo?
any other way's?
would having 3...
how is the screen attached to the pvc is it between the long slit in the pvc at the top inside with crazy glue or pvc glue or acrylic glue etc or is the screen ment to come apart from the pipe?
...
That last question was dumb lol
the 225G system will be a long build over 1 plus year's
I'll build the box to fit 8-t5 each side for the future
for now I will have a 90G/30G sump/ATS and 2...
thank's ;)
that's a good high powered design
Good job so far nice a simple and easy to navigate
that's the one if thing's work out I would like to put it above display between the above display zooplankton refuge and display it's self
ATS was the last link to a puzzle I was trying to figure...
What thickness of acrylic should I use for the box I'm planning?
the pipe I'll be using will be pvc read somewhere that using a dremmel and opening a horizontal line to fit the screen will do
is this all i have to do and close the other side of the pvc?

here is the link
I want to build this one here but larger box

whould 3 piece be to much or better because I can make the hole smaller?
how long before replacing?
what is the ultimate if no hole's are neccessary whould a piece of acrylic severly scratch/muled up do/be better and last longer then canvas?
was hoping also to keep about a 75F tank is this still possible with 16-t5 ats?
not too sure about this but can a algae turf scrubber produce food or just maintain and allow the food to stay in?
...
the light I can get for 4t5 is approx 8to10" and for 8 would be 16to20" would you suggest a 24" deep box?
That's cool I'll stick with 4 total for now I'll make it to have have room for 8-t5 on each side for the future just incase good suggestion should I extend the screen even thou it is not neccessory...
any advice about the scrubber box wouldn't mind leaving room for another 2-t5 bulb's on each side just incase I want to upgrade later as the tank get's stocked?
the above refuge I was wondering if...
ATS is only a compliment everything was done in section's and tested besides the ats I could go without one no problem but just figured a ats will cut down on glass scrapping a bit along with...
acrylic box:16"H x 26"Lx6"W
would this be the right demension's for the acrylic box for a 750gph pump with 2-1200gph bulkhead's only 1 as back up incase the algae block's the one opening of...
just curious is it true that ATS take out alot of inorganic's while leaving organic's?
any advantages to having the screen I'm using and glueing together a second one to the other side making the squares line up or should I alternate the square's so they are cut in half?
Does not...
Then feed MORE MORE MORE. Ten times more. The corals will grow much much more too.
o I'll be feeding if I can guess it will be feeding 5 cup daily of phyto and ton's of live food if possible
If you don't use the Kenya's, the scrubber (with 4 bulbs, 2-layers screens, high flow) will keep nutrients at zero, even with dosing phyto. If you do the Kenya's, either they will die from lack of...
No surge is needed to work effectively. I have not seen any difference in nutrient removal with or without a surge. And it's so much easier to not have one.
that's cool didn't really want to use...
I'm open to the height of the scrubber screen being lower just not sure about the box demension's etc with a 750G pump what demension's of the box should I use? what size bulkhead's? 2 or 1
will...
Is having a undersized ATS like the one I already bought the light's/pump for will this benefit me If I wanted to keep in a little inorganic's to possibly keep a little algae growing in the system so...
nice yard and scrubber
what if I went 60 plus kenya trees 6" tall in a nutrient scrubber 216" of water channel would this offset by chance the undersize ATS?
bought this at walmart $1.97 thinking of using it?
