Hey Steve can you give details on the algae scrubber. Looking to try it out

What do ya need for details? Mine only had one size option because i used scraps.... can get ya measurements if you want or can take a bunch of pics so you can see what i did.... the key is to use the knitting plastic mesh and scuf it up so its really ruff and lay on the bottom. That will give you a good substrate for the algae to grow on and easy to scrape off once it gets too thick. I am losing the tube lights as well and going back to cfl grow bulbs from home depot they work great

TEST TIME :).....

So now that the tangs are gone i only got a couple yellow chromis a couple 3 barred damsels my false perc clown my eel and my shrimps plus the new algae scrubber im gonna see how long i can stretch my wc before anything starts to get out of whack... so far has been six weeks no wc and nitrate is barely detectable ( yes test is still good as confirmed by lfs double check) and everything else seems good minus alk is a lil higher than wanted but that was my fault :) lets see how long i can go and now i have that algae scrubber working as well as my refugium with deep sandbed.

This might get interesting

it just grows algae to eat the nitrates out of the water check the last set of pics i posted or the ones in diy for an idea
I set up my 50 gallon tall for the seahorses today and it has a 25 gallon sump I cut some baffles out to make a fuge and going to work up a scrubber I am going to use a desk type lamp on it with a cfl bulb also that should be ok for 3 "horses" what you think.
