    HOG in limited sump space

    For sumps with little room, a larger HOG scrubber® like the HOG1.3 or larger here, fits well. It was just installed and still has the shade cloth over half the light.

    When a HOG2 is not enough for a freshwater sump, put one on the front and the back.

    This HOG2x scrubber® is shown below the waterline in a freshwater sump, which is useful if the water level changes a lot. For quieter operation, or to keep salt spray inside if it's saltwater, raise the top 1/2 inch of the HOG above the waterline.

    This small HOG.5 which is the same physical size as the HOG1 and HOG1x takes up little space inside sump cabinets. This Hog is probably too small to do real filtering on this larger tank but it can reduce your glass cleaning, and also grow live food, thus allowing you to use less packaged foods.

    This HOG1x scrubber® is small for filtering this tank, but can grow some fresh food for it.
