Algae Scrubber

[beefORchicken]

very cool, an ats that is not incredibly hideous that's a plus! hope it works well in your system

So this is an in-sump setup, right? It's very slick. I'd like to see a link too, please!

Yah, you are correct don’t expect a miracle, nevertheless even with this small size I remove good chunk of algae every one or two weeks.
If they can make it wider though it would increase surface area greatly without too much increase in cost (I think)

You may also consider this T tube i feed both my Calc reactor and Algae Scrubber with one like that. Or get one localy if you can. Just an idea.
Oh, and also it takes a month to get here from China.

Yeah you're right, i think if they can make it wider so more algae can grow, you got a good thing going on here. I'd be very interested in they can make it wider, looks like a good design.
