Hi I'm new this is a great forum.

Tonight when i got home, I put together a one sided horizontal algae scrubber to add to the system, based on what ive read on this forum and what I can do easily for now.

I have a mixed reef tank with a little nuisance algae and cyno that I can't shake and some sps that just won't color up. I do have a largish bio load and feed 1/2 sheet nori, 3 cubes and spectrum daily with weekly plankton feeds to the system.

I do weekly 20g NSW water changes and I've got it in my sump, a macro & LR section, a skimmer, large DSB and GAC, GFO, puragin & bio pellets in separate reactors.

The scrubber plate is going over the macro section and will have the full return flow (about 1500 lph) running over it. The lights are 2x24 w T5's (now with natural white - not actinic as shown) and are about 3inches above the scrubber. The canvas is roughed up as per instructions found on this site and is 40cm x 44cm.

Here's my display - 90g corner tank
