ya thats one of the threads that got me thinking. I've come to the conclusion that the cons are yellowing water and possible contamination in the DT. But a mechanical filter and carbon should do the trick. What i haven't gather yet is will ANY copepods/amphipods make it past the mechanical filter/carbon filter and return pump?
and i am still planning on using a skimmer, probable first, then to the ATS dripping into the fuge, then through the carbon and mechanical filter before it hits the return pump. Or is filtration after the fuge/ATS not a good idea?

There,s a pic of a real turf scrubber, built by Inland aquatics, back when they were doing so. Its still in my gallery I believe. The scrubber last ran on my large tanks before moving here. It collects dust now in my shed.

I would think a search here would bring some threads up on them, from when mine was running.
