Hey all, I'm new here and I'm thinking of putting together a scrubber for my 180 mixed reef tank. My sump is an old Seaclear acrylic tank. Water flows into the back area and travels through a series of baffles before cascading into the front area of the tank. I'm thinking of trying a gravity-fed scrubber design where I fit the mesh into the overflow area and light it there. I'm hoping this will solve two problems:
1) Crazy high nitrates that I haven't been able to make a dent in for weeks.
2) noise from overflowing water.
Here's a pic of the area
Any thoughts on this type of design welcome. Thanks!
