wow, I like those reflectors...nice job man!

You are correct, the screen was part of my waterfall scrubber for about 8 months so it was pretty established to begin with. Though I was never able to get the green algae to take over the way it...

I actually have four 40w cfls maybe 2" from the front of the screen and two 40w about 10" above the back mirror, and there is quite a bit of difference in the growth. The back is almost all long and...

Third cleaning, 12 days...

No, its #7 canvas...its just a pretty big screen, about 14"wide by 12"tall.

Second cleaning after about 3 weeks running. I noticed some small areas of white stuff underneath the heavy brown patches while cleaning the screen...probably should have cleaned it a bit earlier....

Coming up on the second cleaning, this is after 11 days...
The first cleaning was all long brown algae, but I'm starting to get the bright green in the middle. What I find interesting is that the...

I wasn't sure on the glass mirror being reef safe, so I cut a piece of acrylic a bit larger than the mirror and siliconed the acrylic to the back of the mirror and ran a bead of silicone around the...

Thought I'd give the new design a try. I've been running an ATS for over a year now with lots of success, but have been wanting to try the new version since first reading about it.
I'm using a 1/2"...

thanks for the response

Hoping to get a little input on my scrubber that's been running about 8 months or so. My DT is 125gal, it houses 10 fish and just a few corals. I feed 5-6 frozen cubes and maybe a half sheet of nori...

Fly by night for sure, as you can see by my pictures!:) Didn't occur to me that the cardinal fry are a bit more mature when they arrive, they are so tiny. Having a scrubber on the fry tank was the...

i've been using two 10gal tanks, both like the one in the pictures to raise bangaii cardinal fry. Both are on very simple scrubbers made from $5 plastic trash cans. The pump is controlled by a ball...

its a horizontal band...basically where the very ends of the cfls point at the screen, and are closest.

My scrubber has been up and running for about 8 weeks now...15" wide, two 40W cfls w/8" reflectors on each side and anywhere from about 500-700gph flow (as the screen grows thicker thru the week, i'm...

i've been looking into this myself, so forgive me for hijacking your post...
how far should the boxed side be away from the screen? And does it have to extend into the water, or be boxed in on the...

i'm using a pretty long screen to reach the water level in the sump. when i made the screen initially, i had to use two pieces 'sewn' together to get the length needed...I've since found long pieces...

thank you...i'll try that. What can i expect the first month or two after replacing?

I have a pretty established screen (over 1 year), and I'd like to change it out. What's the best way to do this?

'a few days?'...that's awesome! I was so afraid I would lose my screen during the tank switch! Even knowing I could go overnight is a relief! :D

Hi everyone...new here, but have been running a scrubber-only 90gal tank for over a year now with great success. I've been lurking on the outside of this forum for even longer, mostly because any...
