The SLIP.7 (tm) is the world's first combo scrubber: It's a chaeto reactor, and a waterfall algae scrubber, and also a UAS® upflow algae scrubber® built into a single unit. It slips into the back of most nano aquarium back compartments (see tank models below), and all below-tank sumps, and of course it can go into all displays where you hide it behind a rock or plant.
To supply water to the SLIP.7 you can do one or more of the following:
1. Place under an overflow; in this case no pump is needed.
2. "T" or "Y" from your existing water pump tubing; in this case no extra pump is needed.
3. Get a tiny adjustable water pump (rated 50 gph or more). An example pump is the smallest one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253979919126
4. Use an air pump instead; the air bubbles will circulate the water.
To supply air to the SLIP.7 get an adjustable 2-outlet air pump such as the Danner AP-4 ...
https://www.dannermfg.com/supreme-ox...lume-air-pumps
... and then "T" or "Y" the 2 outlets of the pump into 1 air line tubing, which will then go to the SLIP air tubing on the top, or on the bottom. The top tubing connects directly to the Green Grabber screen (and is more quiet), whereas the bottom tubing connects to the bottom plate (which allows you to not use the screen).
You can use smaller 1-outlet air pumps, but they usually are not adjustable, and you will want to be able to control the amount of air bubbles in order to control the sound. Alternately you can tie a knot in the tubing, which will slow down the air flow.
The grow-light is included; it is a single GEM5® light strip which puts about up to 1,000 PAR of 660nm deep red light, with a power supply that operates on 240V and 120V with no transformer needed (just a different plug, or a "figure 8 laptop power cord"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNM7G32LLug )
Replacement GEM5 lights, with or without power supply, are at https://www.santa-monica.cc/product.asp?itemid=84 ... If operating in freshwater, you probably will not need a timer for the lights; in saltwater you can start off with no timer for a few weeks but may need to add a timer later based on algae growth conditions in the SLIP.
