I thought I'd put up a post about my own experience buying a Santa Monica 100 Scrubber. Here is a rundown...
On Feb 15th, I contacted Santa Monica (Bryan) at http://www.algaescrubber.net/forums/...e=compose&u=53. Bryan got back to me a couple hours later and provided his contact information. I talked with Bryan later that same day over the phone and decided to place an order for his pre-made scrubber. Bryan comes across as a professional, well spoken guy who knows reef tanks. You can tell he has a passion for reef keeping and the whole scrubber concept in general. During our conversation Bryan set my expectations that it would take a few weeks to have a unit built. I placed an order during this call.
We emailed back and forth a few times and about 10 days after placing the order, I received this email from Bryan...
MY current DIY ATS works OK but it's still a far cry from the clean, enclosed ATS design that Bryan designed. My tank is a 92 gal corner bowfront and since Bryan's scrubber is designed for up to 100 gallon aquariums, I should be fine.Re: Santa Monica 100 Scrubber Order
