WOW, it was way back there!!! http://algaescrubber.net/forums/show...rry-s-UAS-test . This was my best UAS HOB test pilot I ever built. It has pics.

Did that link above help you any, its got pics in the 6th post.

Hey! Yeah, the link worked. I just saw it now.

I love the venturi pumps-- I didn't think of those as an option! I keep wanting to put an airstone inside the filter box, but if I had one of those pumps that intakes air as well it might solve that problem somewhat.

Awesome! Thanks so much for locating the post.

You are very welcome. Out of all the UAS I have built this type worked the best for me. I think the light on both sides made the difference. I still use and prefer the waterfall but If I had to do an UAS type it would be this type.

Too bad the Millenium 3000 filter has been discontinued. There are some that are similar but seem to lack the venturi option.

You can likely add this option, you only need to supply an air source such as hose or tube.

Well, I'll keep trying with my Finnez build and see how that goes. At the moment I should be able to integrate the algae scrubber and the biological filtration into the refugium, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I don't like having all kinds of equipment around a tank and don't have a sump, so a plug-n-play HOB design is sort of my dream come true.
