Hello!
Is there anyone who has tried to let the screen go directly into the main display when using a on top of aquarium algae scrubber??
Will this cause any problems such as bubbles in the water? Or other issues?

IF you can get the flow coming down the screen right you will not have to many bubbles. I have mine built into a 6G acrylic tank (above the 40G display) drilled with a 2" hole toward the bottom. My screen just touches the water which is about 2" deep and causes a few large bubbles that surface quickly. I do not see any micro bubble issues with it, I plan to build my FW scrubber with the screen entering the space where a hang-on filter would go. I figured the biggest issue would be not letting the algae grow so much that it breaks away from the screen and falls into the tank. I am sure it will create a few bubbles but they should be large enough to surface quickly seeing it will be in a corner where there is not to much current. If you do not want any bubbles in the display this is probably not the design you should use.
