Dear All,
I've been reading about algea scrubbers for a while and decided to build a simple diy upflow algea scrubber. I have an aquamedic cubicues aquarium and currently have some issues with red slime algea as I have no fancy equipment to filter the water. I decided to go give the UAS in he hope that this will help me get rid of the cyano;
Light: 21w growspot (3w leds, 6x660nm, 1x455nm)
Airpump: Tetratec APS 150 (150 lph, 2.5 lpm)
Screen size: 11cm x 40cm, 440cm2 (4,3 inch x 15,7 inch, 68,2 inch2)
(Extra white scrubber section is 11 cm x 16.5 cm)
I hope someone can give me a bit of feedback. I added a white section to the scrubber because I do not know if the black leaf catcher (I do not know the right name for it) is usefull scrubber material. Currently a bit of cheato got stuck in the white section..
