    Update: Since the Fusion 700 air pump is no longer available, the Danner AP-4 is now recommended for most scrubbers, except the SURF4 or 4x which can use a Danner AP-8, and the SURF8 which needs a large single-outlet pump.

    Note that all HOG and DROP models have 1 air inlet, therefore the 2 outlets of the Danner AP-4 pump can be combined into 1 with a "T" or "Y" fitting, and this will give you a lot of air which can still be reduced with the control knob. If you don't want to combine the outlets, then the smaller Danner AP-3 pump has only 1 outlet, but it also does not have a control knob.

    Feed your fish from your scrubber.

    Free, fresh, and does not add nitrate or phosphate to the water like normal feeding does.

    An algae scrubber like this HOG2 on a planted tank helps remove dust algae off the plants

    This is not a mirror image. It's a large freshwater sump, with a HOG2 on the front and the back:

    This HOG2x scrubber® light is upside down, but still operates correctly and the magnets still attach properly. The other part of the HOG in the water (the "wet" side) needs to be upright however, so that bubbles rub the Green Grabber® white rocky surface from the botton to the top.

    Since a HOG2 has no strings, there is nothing to get caught up in a brush when you are brushing it in your sink, which you need to do with freshwater growth.

    This HOG2, on the inside of a sump, has an internal water line that is lower than the water line of the sump. This is because not enough air is getting out of the hole at the top, which is usually caused by growth covering the hole, but sometimes it can caused by too much air being pumped in. In this case, just reduce the amount of air, or make the hole bigger.

    This HOG2 scrubber® is clogged with very dark hair algae mixed with black slime (the dog likes it!). It really needed to be brushed out in the sink long before now, so that the white Green Grabber® surfaces are visible so it can reflect more light back to the growth. The light should go to 24 hours. And cleaning should be every 3-5 days until nutrients come down and growth gets lighter in color.

    When a HOG2 is not enough for a freshwater sump, put one on the front and the back.
