Algae scrubbers help DT by:
using no3
oxygenating water
growing pods

You need to use a red turf algae, I got mine from Inland Aquatics.

Best to have a surge for algae or next best is waterfall type setup.

I used a $150 LED grow light(Mars Hydro - Ebay) on night time cycle. It would turn on when main lights went off then it would turn off 16hrs later.

Need to harvest regularly.

Size to gallonage and load of DT.

I would do it again but use a surge type and not waterfall.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Tim
