Hello!

I have just started my nano algae scrubber, it is a singel sided screen.

Here is some tecknical data:
Scrubber box is 20x20x10 centimeters
Scrubber box is a box for food storage, and it is in transparent pvc. The box is going to be covered up by another pvc decor box.
Lightning is 11w with reflector, bulb is about 3-3,5 centimeters from screen.
It is possible to change to more powerful bulb if nessesary.
Screen material is Steni plate that is very sharp and rough on surface
Total screen size is about 15 wide x 20 tall (centimeters) . Effective screen size is about 15 wide x 12 tall (centimeters)
Lamp bracket with lamp is removebal, just lift the hole unit of.
The screen is also just standing free in scrubber, just lift up to clean.
Pump is Aquarium Systems Micro Jet 450 l/h
The scubber have 25 mm outlet and overflow outlet.

The scrubber is startet today and it is looking very good, no splashing or noise, and flow is very even over hole screen areal.

I will come back with some updates when the scrubber is covered up by the decor box and i have done a couple of algae cleanings.

Here are som pictures from the build:

Here are all the parts for the build


The algaescrubber box with glued in outlets


Screen material is Steni plate


Lamp bracket with bulb and reflector



This is an silicon math that for use as evoporation an splash shield


O-rings used as drip stop on inlet tube


Aquarium Systems Maxi Jet 450 l/h pump


This is used as a divider between screen and light


Inlet tube that is drilled to bigger holes


Here is splash and evoporation shield in place over inlet tube/screen chamber


This is the flow on the screen, a little difficult to see but it is good i think

This is a very easy singel sided scrubber to build, i am covering up the transparent pvc box in a couple of days and will post a new picture then.
