    2nd scrubber

    I started with a uas for around 2 months which never really took off, so I built a waterfall instead. Feeding a half cube and a few flakes a day so I'm using a 12" squared scrubber using 2x12w cfl bulbs which will be changed to LEDs once I can source then a bit cheaper.

    Sump (very small)

    Day 7, pictures are alot darker than it actually is. Getting a few small bits of nice green growth. After taking picture I gave it a quick wipe.

    Nice. I never got into the UAS thing. Are you feeding the screen with your overflow? That's what I do and I like that I think "all" my water goes pass the screen instead of maybe it is with an UAS scrubber.
    I never get the crazy green growth others seem to. But I will tell you that my water is always testing primo.

    Your light looks like it might end up under water if the power goes out in the picture. Have you tested for this?

    Good eye Sabbath. Funny we notice that stuff on our own set ups. Pay no attention when on others.
