Exemple: if a put only tap water in a tank and run an algae acrubber in it, can i use this water as top of water in a reef instead of RO water?

If you let the water sit in a bucket overnight, you can use it for top-off.
Yes just put the water into a bucket, about 15 cm deep, and the next day you can add it to the tank.
Santa Monica, Good afternoon
Is this information below up to date?
Q: What advantages are there to wide screens? If a screen is narrow, but taller, and has the same area, isn’t it the same?
A: No. The big difference is in the amount of water processed; A screen twice as wide will flow twice as much water, and this makes a big difference in how fast it can eat the nutrients out of the water. Also, if part of the slot gets blocked by something, a wider screen will not be affected as much as a narrow screen.
Thanks
No it is not up to date. If the screen area is the same, a wider version is not better. Except of course for the clogging part.
Hi Santa Monica, its me again. lol
i was looking for the reasons why we can`t let the CFL bulbs more than 3 months and i do not figured it out.
what happen to a scrubber if we do that? what happen with the algae in the screen?
thanks a lot.
and iŽll make a video to show you how my tank looks now.
CFL bulbs will get weaker quickly. You will not notice it until you replace with new bulbs.
Yes let us see the tank now
Hi SM.
