Reverse light period, but on 18 hrs/day vs 12 for the tank lights.

looks great i started mine over the christmas holidays, my growth is not that thick yet but i have 0s across the board on my test kits, im running cfls for lights 18h on 6h off. switched out for a second screen cuz i roughed up too high on the first one and was getting the algea growing into the water feed.

guess i could add this in case anyone doesnt want to go browsing through the algaescrubber forumns its a basic diy for a scrubber im gonna use this and tweak it a bit:pppp

yup denny thats pretty much what mine is like just hang the screen and wait a week lol seeds itself and all you gotta do is harvest

I was looking at the link just posted. For those of you that use this design do you cut off the zip ties attaching the screen to the pipe each week when cleaning the screen?

no zip ties here i cut a piece of thin wall pipe a size bigger than my feed pipe and use a coupe of them instead

Thanks for the info. Shall start a build right away

Very cool, and the million dollar question is: Is it helping your tank and nutrient levels?

global i doubled my feedings just to test it all out and found for the first time in 3 years i am running 0's in all my tests across the board, i brought a sample to the fish store and they got zeros too

titus get on it lol works great hope to see your pics next week lol
