I heard that turning your blade for thin plywood backwards does nice with thin plastic. Is there any truth to this?

Hi drP,
Welcome to scrubberland :lol:
do you have some more pics of your setup?
How new or old is the setup?
cyano is nothing to panic about. It is actually quite healthy, a bit...
I had been using a 225 red/blue panel from ledwholesalers. I bought the 180 red/blue screw in bulb and now using that.
Most that growth was with the 12 x 12 panel as I just changed to the bulb...
Led Growth progress
I decided to clean half today. Trates were about 10, this is the lowest trates I have ever had on a tank. I have updated the led to a spot type bulb which is more concentrated...
worley, I'm wondering, do rotifers eat phyto?
I am most likely going to try and raise some clowns if my pair spawns. Thinking of setting up something like what your doing. I have read some fish...
So how is he? start eating? ich?
Yea, so that means I could feed the heck out of it, then add co2 to further accelerate growth, and use the calcium reactor also. (warped theory)
But I guess that some say when you run a heater,...
yep, but dig this.
How many refers use a calcium reactor? Now with the calcium reactor, you need the co2 correct? Well algae need co2 and food to grow. Hmm, must read up on the calcium reactor...
I ran across this video and thought maybe a gen 4 design is worth considering

SM, if those diffuser sheets came in thick sections, they could be used for the housing. Most of the stuff I have seen is very brittle however, and that would not be cool if you cracked it while...
Hmmm constant current regulator circuit, shouldn't be too expensive or complicated.
The one inside my light panel is quite small and relatively few components. I can always borrow some circuit...
I get fairly good response talking to a couple of different places here. It usually boils down to product liability for them guys.
So ready to run-except turf right?
Might be easier to...
kcress- my panel does not have white led in it. I do not know if it is giving optimal growth, but I have not tried with any other light source.
For powering your panel, why not use a phone...
Well, I have suspended the surge for now. Seems all my growth was getting washed off. Maybe after I get the turf established a little I will crank it up again.
So if you note the major growth area, this all happens at a distance of over 5" from the grow panel. Individual bulbs are spaced about 1" apart. With the addition of the small chunk of diffuser, you...
Did I hear someone call my name? :lol:

Looks like the cam idea has advantages and disadvantages. The main disadvantage will be for durabilty/longevity. Most wave timers work with an integrated circuit and thus no contact points to wear or...
I figured on using about 200 or so led's and light both sides of the small hex (10" tall X 7" wide) for my 29 gallon tank. And probably around 500 or more for the 16x9 hex for my large tank.
...
Ah the advantage is that the led needed about six inches to spread out enough to overlap when all faced the same direction at a 90º angle to the scrubber.
OK, this is how it works, but using my sump and not a separate scrubber system. You should be able to see how the surge works, and better understand the design. Just get creative is all. Below is a...
LOL, bought my panel at feebay from led wholesalers.
So far I have the green slime in spots corresponding to particular colored rows where where the blue and red overlap best. I started a new...
But for a truly slimline you could run the lights almost parallel to the scrubber screen. A slight angle and you can see the footprint of the light changes tremendously. Now your red and blues can...
So this is what I have in mind to blend the light better. Use your imagination on the pics below. I intend to drill the hex and glue the LED right into the tank, then use wire jumpers to build the...
This is a relatively simple design. You put pump and reservoir inline on the overflow, but before the scrubber. The pump in the reservoir is on a timer so that continuos sump feed pump keeps running...
Yes, nano scrubbers. I was just looking tonight for led's to purchase bulk. I found one place that sells a blue 450 nm 5mm for 12¢ a piece, and red 640 nm 5mm for 8¢ not including shipping etc....
Well my intention is to put a compact all in one into production. This is why the led is important to me.
I have a site http://concreef.com/items on which I will sell my man made reef sculptures....
As Santa knows, I have been playing with the led for growth.
I need to know the specs for lighting so I can choose the proper led combo.
Here is a page with some info, but I am having some...
Yep I'm hear and spamming the boards http://zywie.com/laugh.gif
But seriously, I do like the concept of the scrubber and have some great ideas in the works.
I guess I am the first to power with...
I have messed with forums alot, set em up, found great free software and tried alot.
Brand spanking new board it looks like. OK, just a suggestion. I really find the SMF forum much easier to...
