    Never used them but they seem strong enough.

    Ok started the construction of my scrubber as I had the fuge cleaned out and ready to be set up again


    the air-stone will be fitted in the down PVC tube with a slit made in it to maintain a steady stream of bubbles over the scree that will be fitted later.
    Am waiting for my Dremel to make the slits.

    the Dremel finally arrived so had my first screen for the UAS installed.
    made grooves on the outside PVC to lock the screen and a groove on the bottom PVC where the air-stone is installed inside.
    The screen was made very rough with a saw blade.
    the screen is 6" x 10"
    One more screen to go tomorrow.

    Finished up the second screen
    the actual size from both screens is 6" x 8.2" and 6" x 9.8"
    Have plumbed the flow to the screen into the total return of the Refugium and will be controllable.
    not sure if the stones I have used will give me enough bubbles but I guess I will have to try that when adding some water to see what kind of performance I am getting.

    yes if you look careful on the last picture there is a magnet installed between.
    Also both PVC constructions with the screens can be removed
    will show picture of that later.

    did adjust the design a little
    easier access now to the air stone.
    here you can see too the set up with one screen present and the other removed
    both screen can easily be removed for cleaning
    now the lights will have to be added and the glass for the chamber compartment will be placed tomorrow.


    The black screen will be used to block the light coming from the scrubber into the Fuge


    Hope the screen is rough enough
