ruddybop,
Very interested in your HOB setup. New to scrubbers and currently trying one of SM's HOG.5's. I like the idea of a HOB to preserve a more minimalistic view of the tank. I f you don't mind me asking,what size screen fits the Marina S15 and what are you using for a bubbler?
Well I kinda modified the S15... It has 3 filter cartridges... I cut out the center brackets out with a Dremmel so I had one screen 4 1/2" x 7" ... You don't have to cut the filter brackets out and the three filters that come with the unit give you a template for 3 small screens that = my size screen.
The bubbler is 1/4"OD black firm but flexible water line that I drilled 2 rows .012" drill about 1/8" to 3/16" apart. Put a rubber cap on one end and a hose barb on the other..(I eyeballed it with my small drill press)
I then made a plastic piece to keep the light off of the bubbler so the algae doesn't grow on it.
They also make a S20 for 20Gallon..
Look at Kerry's build...He has the same S15 with three screens, but I can't remember what page it's on...

I see they also sell an S10 thats somewhat smaller. I believe it has 1 filter slot. Would you happen to know the individual filter slot dimensions? Your bubbles really seem to hug the screen well. The bubbles in my HOG.5 seem to just bend the screen backwards.
You also want the one that best matches your tank size GPH.....Cycling your scrubber.IMO... You could always put say with the S15 one scrubber in the middle with a filter on each side.
You would have to make a light blocker so the algae doesn't grow on the filters.....
I would really like to add an overflow/sump and build a diy scrubber. Cost and converting my current configuration (stand, lights, etc..) may not be easily feasible. I will probably wait to see the results of the HOG.5 before making a decision which way to go. I really like your setup and appreciate the info!
