Is this a "Waterfall" Algae Scrubber?
I'm thinking about converting to one of those...
I have a basic waterfall version right now, but it's built into a typical plexiglass sump. The kind you see stuffed with bioballs and have a drain plug on the side:
Yeah, that's one of my sumps I bought and gutted for an ATS :P
Anyway, I have a TON of algae growth in the bottom of it up against the acrylic and floating around in the bottom.
Each cleaning I have to unhook the entire thing and wipe it clean. Which isn't easy
Is that other waterfall version necessarily bad?
I know I'd need double the screen and a long sloped area right?
Which I'd be fine with, if it meant easier maintenance.
