Sorry yea 30 gallon cube aquarium. This should be around max 2 cube, I will just have different sized tubes for a smaller scale while my bioload is light.

Well I am going to make a scrubber for my 30 cube but wanted to make it a little better than my last attempt by enclosing it in an acrylic box. Here are some sketch ups of how it is going to look.

Where are these located?

Thanks!

After some more thought I am going to hold off on trying this UAS, I gave it to another local reefer who has an all in one nano that it would be better used on. I am just going to build my own small...

This is with 1/2" PVC but the smaller wand doesn't put out the amount of bubbles I like they are to large compared to the other style that is blue and has finer more bubbles.

I re did this with a...

I am going to go to home depot and get a piece of mirror hopefully it cuts easily. What I plan to do is make the scrubber two sided as well as enclose it with left over mirror material and put a lid...

I am just going to use a CFL since I still have about two extras from my last ATS set up. I just need to get the bulb, but I also have to wait for my tank to cycle.



It is going to one sided I...

Okay here is the virgin design.

I tired the first time by just attaching it to the air stone but the thing wouldn't stay down so I tried to zip it to a piece up live rock with no luck and then I...

Okay I am going to give this a go while I don't have much livestock invested in the tank. I am gathering supplies now and would like any advice to make sure the screen matures properly. I just put...

The link is broken, it doesn't show me anything.

So... how much longer or am I missing something?

I would be interested in the new design when it comes out and to get a licence for my DIY design or possibly just buy one. Let me know as soon as you can, thanks.

Let me refrase do you think this could be the only filtration on the system?

I got a new tank and want to do an ATS on it. Would it be supplemental or do you think it can sustain itself?

I have mangroves along side my scrubber and they are growing well.

That is one of my concerns is the bulbs are pretty close on the back side. I will have to take some pics.

Walmart or your local hardware should have them.

I am going to try and draw out a new plan for my return this weekend since I wanted to upgrade to 1" anyway I just have to figure out how much it is going to cost. Oh, and I went with the threaded...

Looks like I am a little late to the party but I am running a Bean System on my 90 gallon and have an ATS running off of my return pump. Not the route you want to go but if you have any ?'s feel...

Well the scrubber piping is only 3/4" and the piping that feeds the scurbber (from the return pump) is also coming out of 3/4" piping. You are correct that the flexible pipe is 1/2" I tried to fin...

I have done a simple mod to my scrubber I added 10.5" reflectors.
...

I just did some math and if I am correct I am only at 150 gph. I did a test and every 24 seconds I pass 1 gallon of water over the screen.

So 60/24 = 2.5 gallons a minute. 2.5×60 = 150 gph.
...

Well the scrubber is still going strong. However I have had a good algae bloom after putting in some extra base rock. The screen still has mainly brown algae with it becoming greener in the middle to...

I have been running it this way now for almost a week and need to do a cleaning. But from what I am seeing so far I can sort of tell that my algae is more brown then green and seems to be yellower in...

With the unions I am able to turn the pump off and disconnect and bring it over to the sink to clean.

This is at the 2nd cleaning.

I have been running a scrubber on my tank for about 1 month now and finally got the second light online to illuminate the other side of my screen. I will be posting some pictures of my design soon.
