I have a 380l tank with a lot of problems, 1st time i had it running and it was sweet with no algae problems however, i must of had a lot of bad rock from my lfs as i had a huge invasion of crabs.
After months of battling with the crabs i decided to break the tank down and start again so i pulled the rock out and repeatedly jet washed it in the garden with tap water, little did i know about my 230ppm tap water. I let the rock dry and left it in the garden for weeks in all elements.
I put the tank back together Dec 13, i have had nothing but problems with every algae going, at present i have a red fluffy algae which spreads fast.
I check my parameter almost daily, my no3 and po4 are at zero which i ignore as i have algae.
So i have decided to try a scrubber as this is probably the only thing i have not tried.
I understand(or thought i did)that i need 1 sq inch per gallon of water so i am going with 10sq inch, i will illuminate both sides with a 45watt warm cfl on each side i also plan on pushing this with a 1200lph pump.
As i keep reading your website i see that your baseline figures change somewhat?
What do you think to my figures.
the scrubber needs to be rotated 90degree.
