    Scrubber for 800 gallon tank

    Started a scrubber a couple of weeks ago on my 800 gallon tank,

    i used a horizontal set-up.

    The screen is 18" wide by 12" long, so it spans the width of my sump tank. I put a piece of glass underneath it so the water would flow over it and not through it

    For lighting, I have a 50w LED floodlight that I bought off ebay a while back. Since the housing is virtually waterproof it works out pretty well.

    Nice! Do you have your build on another site too, this looks familiar. Maybe on AA?
