Go 14 days.

Now using epoxy to glue the magnets. Should not come off without tearing the cover.

OK, so now my new HOG5 has been running for 14 days. The growth isn't very thick and VERY dark green/brown. Is this still normal startup behaviour? And should I clean it? Or go for another 7 days?

[SantaMonica]

Yes it's normal for a high-nutrient tank at. Clean it, and the next 14 days should be more green.

18 hours.

Hey Santa Monica,

I just recently moved my tank but someone walked off with the in tank screen half of the scrubber. I still have the LED portion. Is is possible to get another made?

Thanks

[SantaMonica]

Ok I added the inside half, in the parts page.

Hey Santamonica, I recieved my UAS last night and installed it. It looks awesome, and very well constructed, the red LED are very cool. I seeded the screen with some HA from my tank, and I'm starting with .02 phosphate and 15ppm of nitrate. Looking forward to good results. the only issue I had is the magnets don't quite hold on my sump. the unit slides down and then the LED side pops off. I have it taped on for now, but I'm wondering if my magnets aren't strong enough?

[SantaMonica]

How thick is the sump? Make sure the electric wire goes down and not up. I hand-check them before shipping to make sure they hold strong to the cardboard.

I can send more magnets if needed.

sump is 1/4 inch acrylic, and the electrical cord is facing down. if you could send anymore, that would be great. I'll try to get some "before" pics up tonight.
