feed a mixture of pellet flake nori and cubes close to 4 cubes a day I would say corals get fed twice a week but hoping with the scrubber wont have to feed as much if at all
Thanks
Guilty as charged
Will give this a while to see how it work's
I had a scrubber running for a while on my 5/2/2 with plexiglas scoured it with a tile cutter in a grid pattern about 2mm apart and sanded and algae used to get about 3/4inch thick and was well attached but can see your point about turbulence on the plastic cavas
Have you considered doing something like jnad did a while back? I would have to dig up the thread, but he took a plastic canvas screen and put it in the oven or something then smashed aragonite onto it. Didn't work real well since it was double-sided and blocked the light or something but with single-sided plex sheets you could take a MAPP or Propane torch to it to get it soft, then sprinkle sand onto is and roll in down hard with a rolling pin, then heat up again and roll it again so that the sand bonds into the surface. That would be really rough and a good substrate for growth.
that sounds like a good idea will get more plexi and have a go at that thanks
Actually I would just take one of your panels that you have now and try it just as a test. Pick a smaller panel, and try it out for a few weeks or more, if it works, you can just do one panel at a time.
will give that ago thanks
just a wee update starting to get some more growth and more green and my cyano is gone but some corals have browned a bit
You are seeing the limitations of a horizontal screen, no matter how big.
Sorry guys what point am I missing starting to get green algae is that not what I'am trying to achieve! tested my po4 today 0.015 and no3 0 all cyano gone as is any sign of GHA in the display, so what limitations are you on about?
