Here in Portugal where I live, there is not that algae scrubber moviment...I believe at least in the internet forums, I am the first one...or...at least one of the few...
I wonder why...
more water surface (Allmost 1 meter square meter...for my scrubber), less pH swings...and less nutrients...
tank size 120x60x60
scrubber size 60x45
1250 liters per hour in the scrubber (more or less)
some pics of an older design...I got it improved a little...I think... (the old one was made in the last week, in 3 days it collected a lot of algae, but I was not glad about the speed of the water, so I made the new one...last day)

I will make some reflectors but only in the right side of the scrubber, the left is occupied by some mangrove trees, that I want to mantain...
So...what is your take?
good design?
