FW Algae Scrubber

Hi Guys,

I am in the early stages of creating an algae scrubber for my freshwater 40 UK gallon tank. I have found a couple these:

Would they work for the algae scrubber?

No... to much heat, not enough light.

You need fluorescents

Thanks for the reply.

Would I be able to use the lampholder but just change the bulb?

Also do we have any scubber builders in the UK?

[SantaMonica]

Yes change the bulb.

Just post an a there here and on other forums for a builder.

Hey

I have been looking around for a suitable pump. The link below shows a pump with a flow of 2000LPH. The price seems a little too good to be true though. What do you guys think?

I have also purchased the below bulb. Would this be suitable for the scrubber?

I have seen the links for your adapters and fittings but I need a UK based site. See the link below, is this what I need?
