What to order?

[Thedaddy2003]

I'm in the uk and looking to build a water fall scrubber. Preferably enclosed. But what I don't know is what I need to order and where from, sizes is my issue? I want uni joins and something to attach the pipe to. Kinda design like farm boy reefs diy version on YouTube. Thanks in advance. Lighting suggestions also please.

I use these LED's great lights for the money. Many of us in the UK use them to great affect.

You can also buy them off Amazon but are dearer.

2-sided screen: 20 x 12 inches = 240 square inches = 20 cubes of food a day. Very big.

What's the most you feed each day, and, how much rock do you have? Is there algae on the rocks?

I bought the acrylic box and 4 LED light fixtures for my turtle tank. It was pretty easy to assemble and is doing a pretty good job in the filtration system. See my thread here:
