Yes but if thats the case then there are too many nutrients in the system that i want out. I rather have dark algae and know that my nutrients are high and work on them.. why would i want green algae and all the nutrients in d tank.. u know what im saying?
Because green growth will absorb the most nutrients, the fastest.
What do you think about this UAS design ?
It's a hybrid between HOG and the new one, pink stuff are magnets, the squared one is for fixing to the glass and the outside lamp, the rounded ones are for holding the UAS screen
Suggestions accepted...
Looks neat.
I would buy one of those
Why not ditch the magnets and make it hang on the rim of the tank? Would work for a glass tank, not so much for an acrylic tank, but I bet I could make even that work with a little thought.
Thought about that.... I guess the hard part is going to be making it stay very close to the glass so bubbles doesn't escape... That would be fixed using a clear panel but that would be an extra thing to clean...Originally Posted by Floyd R Turbo
I'm thinking about a semi-permanent fixing outside for the lamp, as the one for vortech pumps... and just the magnets for holding the inside part and making it easy to remove, clean and place again in place
Made a first prototype in 1/4" pvc foamboard that I had around collecting dust...
This prototype made me take note of some changes for the next prototype... among them... change width to fit one commercially available air difusser, instead of 1/4" I'll use 1/8"the space for the screen needs more room... I'll make it 2" instead of 1"... and some other...
On monday I'll get some more material to build a second prototype...
Already ordered some neodinium magnets to test that part of the design...
Neo magnets need to be sealed. Can't put them directly in the water. Just FYI
Unless you get epoxy coated ones. They were recommended directly to use in SW. I've has some in my sump for months... they look brand new.
