Hello All,
I have been following along for a while now and thought I'd finally build a scrubber. I currently breed marine clownfish as a hobby/small business and have a small building in my back yard that has been deemed the clownhouse. There are 2 systems totaling 27 tanks. The first system is an 11 tank broodstock system that currently has 10 spawning pairs in it. The second system is an 16 tank growout system. The growout system uses (16) ten gallon tanks, a 110g sump and right now approximately 1500 fish. In the sump is a large (12") skimmer w/dual sedra 9000 recirculating pumps, 600g fluidized bed filter, 150-200 lbs of Live Rock, vodka batch denitrator, and multiple types of macroalgaes. Lets just say that my bioload is HUGE and I can produce nitrates like there is no tomorrow. I currently do a 20% water change weekly just to try to keep the nitrates under control. I know that this scrubber is in no way going to eliminate any of my current filtration but any additional supplemtary nitrate removal is gladly welcomed .
Here is a couple shots of the clownhouse then on to the scrubber.
