I was wondering how I could find space to build a scrubber and also utilise the existing equipment I have for it.
There isnt really any room in the sump as it is take up with my ATI BM300 skimmer, (I know some of you are a tad anti skimmers but this beast cost me a fortune and is the daddy of skimmers and so it is going nowhere) my Schuran Jetstream calcium reactor and my KM500 kalk stirer and cleartides dual fluidised reactor. There simply isnt room for anything else in there!
So then I looked at the top of my tank, it is a custom built 5 foot bow front tank and on the top there is a large area at the front of the tank that is solid glass with a drain hold cut in to one end. There are 3 x 250watt halides with lumenarcs just above the tank with this area being heavily lit by the lights.
I thought to myself if I pumped water on to one end of this flat area and let it run down to the other area and drain back in to the tank I would have a perfect scrubber area.
I am now looking to find a material that I could cut to size and fit in to this area and then I will get a pump and have a go and see if it works.
Can anyone forsee any problems with this horisontal scrubber idea?
