Peri-what... lol had to google that word. How bad is it to move rocks etc? I know I need to move this tank at least one more time in the next few weeks/months and I'm planning on upgrading to a ~90...
23 days in and I haven't done any real cleaning to it. So i decided I should finally do it.

This is about 9 days of growth on the side where the leds are 4~5 inches from the screen.

If I get 12~16 more 660s would that be enough to keep the heatsinks where they currently are(about 4~5 inches)? Would 60 or 80 degree lenses help at that distance?
Thanks for all the help!

How many more LEDs would you suggest? I was trying to increase the distance because I was afraid of having too many since they are 3watts each.
Also are the colors and ratio ok? I bought these a...
This is boring backstory which you can skip.
This might be my third attempt at a good scrubber. I had a scrubber working fairly well for a year or so, had to move so had the tank running at a...
I've tried this a few times and I had a problem with things getting clogged. I went thru all of my bags trying this over and over.
I think my blender is just horrible and can't get it down to a...
Is it still possible to order one thru hastings? Will pretty much any plastics company be able to build one if given the design? I may need to modify the lengths a bit for various other tanks(156g...
What are you comparing? A UV sterilizer vs ATS for removing green water?
I would say go with the ATS since this is the forum for that but if your only problem is a bit of green water then maybe the...
5x2x2 (feet?) is a 156 Gallon tank(590L) or somewhere around that. So thats 156 square inches if you make a vertical scrubber or 300 horizontal. Just go with the vertical one it really isn't all...
I think this might be part of it. the green algae on the glass I'm assuming will slowly disappear as well. And if you clean it it should grow back much slower until eventually the screen wins...
Why was it blocked? I can't see any major disadvantages of having one.. but again I just started mine and I'm also quite new to reefing in general.
Another update on things

Did you mean the one i kept in my tank with the power head? I see alot of things On it but now I'm starting to think it may just be debris thats just stuck to the screen lol. Well Everything in this...
Well had the horizontal scrubber running a few days but I'm unimpressed with it. Theres a bit of green algae growing on it but very minimal. I think its because theres not enough flow. Gonna...
Thanks for the response and Its taken me awhile but I Finally got things sortof set up
It took me a little while cause I kept changing my mind on tanks and had to keep waiting on the store to get it...
Well just wanna start off and say this seems like the best thing to happen to any tank in a long time. Almost makes me wonder why everyone doesn't do something like this. Anyways I'm new to reefing...
