Algae Turf Scrubber?

[Cliff]

I have been thinking about adding a algae turf scrubber to my new system who else here runs one successfully? And have you seen a safe way to DIY one? All that I have seen look like electrical fires waiting to happen LOL

check through my tank thread..... i posted an acrylic one i made myself but will be a few ages back. if needed ill take some pics for ya but is hard because its kinda dirty.... as for successful i have to turn mine off for 5 days a week just to get nitrates to register lol

depending how your sump is setup i know of three different styles i have recommended for others that work well without being a death trap. So post a sump pic too

@Cliff dude you got it made.... a peice of plastic knitting mesh with a couple suction cups. if you add that to the centre part just below those holes the water is draining all you gotta do is shine a light on it and block the light on the back side. or rig a spillway there. ill post a few pics tonight... guess im gonna have to do a algae scrubber build thread lol

I'll need to have you look at my set up when I'm getting ready, to add an algae scrubber to it as I'm setting it up !
