Garfs Horizontally Opposed Scrubber Test

[Garf]

G.H.O.S.T.

First day of my paint roller horizontal scrubber. Screen is 13 x 10, ranging in depth from 1 inch to 2 inch. Lighting and flow provided by the aerated waterfall. May up grade lighting depending on how things progress. Putting a DIY bubble bar in the deep end to stir the flow up a bit;

4 days in and the screen has started to float, even being attached to a plate of thick Perspex.

6 days in, gonna be chopping it tomorrow (and anchoring the screen down somehow);

It doesn't yet Floyd. Tried a bubbler bar thing, it was rubbish.

7 days, LED UFO left, CFL 46watt right (waste light from vertical scrubber only). I think, properly lit, this thing would grow well. Got loads of mysids roaming around and under the screen (must be eating the pods). Carrying on with the waste light for now;

So that tray is suspended from the side of your sump under your scrubber. Statement. Not a question.
Question. Is it noisy having the water shallow under the screen? I don't have an ATO. I just fill it up when it gets to a certain level. Of course the more emersed the screen is the quieter it is because the water isn't falling as far.
