Hello all,
1st off, thank you both Worley and SantaMonica for a great site and great information! I've been following SataMonica's threads at MD for a while, and now here.
I have built a vertical scrubber for my 75g Reef tank; two screens 5" wide,x 10" high, 3 lights. Screens aer 1.5" into the water; water supply is from a Mag5 giving good flow (not sure if it is too much?). I have brown diatomes so far, day 5, with a little spec of green algae about 3mm.
My question: have any of you done comparisons with vertical versus Horizontal? I would think horizontal would be an easier project for these reasons: Lighting (on top, so, no worries about water splashes etc), and, less drastic water splashing noise. My wife is a tad irritated with the splashing from my current vertical setup.
I will post pics once I have a nice matt of algae.
