So how is everyone making out with their scrubbers? I am just as pleased as can be with mine. My SPS growth is outstanding and almost every trace of the hair algae I battled for 18 months is gone. I am stunned and extremely pleased by what a huge difference it has made for me. Great coral growth and color. My glass stays cleaner longer. No dosing. I love it!

How are you making out?

How are you making out?

mines doing great its starting to get some hair algae weekly not as strong as yours but still has a nasty look to it.im changing mine out every sunday i like how low maintanance it is just a quick wash and cliped back on costs nothing


effects on my tank??



my nitrates currently sit around 20 down from 60 and my tank is starting to look great , my macro algae still grows in fact my cheato is growing to the point where im harvesting a chunk every week, my mangrove has taken right off in growth. ive uped the feedings in my tank to accomodate some new additions but still my nitrates are staying low and getting lower as the hair algae grows. took a while to get green hair algae as i have such high nutrients i was getting nasty tar for the first bit.


so far im loving mine
