The two independent growth compartments of the SURF8 and 8x (lights not shown) allow you to clean/harvest one while letting the other continue to grow/filter. This reduces the nutrients yo-yo effect...
This is not the eye of the HAL 9000. It's the single LED light of the HOG.5 upflow scrubber. Good for filtering smaller nano tank back compartments, or for growing live food for any size tank. HOG...

The RAIN2 bottom tray, where algae drops down to, is the easiest to clean of any waterfall scrubber. Just try reaching your hand down into other box style scrubbers and scraping the bottom (after...
For big sumps that don't have much room above or below the waterline, the SURF8 or 8x only needs a few inches because it floats like a boat. Able to handle 8 cubes a food a day, and with two...
Holiday nano gift tanks can get a DROP1.2 for the back compartment. It's the one to get if you don't know what size to get.

Let the lights be with you... in the back compartment. The DROP1.2x fits most compartments; you just pull it up and out to clean/harvest. This one is brand new.
