Bright Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi Guys, sorry for all the late updates. I had tried out my DIY scrubber, and under the guidance of Bro Xiggie, it works well for me! No more need to entertain those red slimy cyanos and blah blah algaes anymore. No more trapped bubbles on the rocks problems anymore! Today I saw that the scrubber's algae tipping out from my DIY hatch and I decided to "harvest" it! Throw the first generation algaes all away, so there is space for new generations to grow. Here're the pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I contained all the lights in my DIY black room, so that no excess lights in my sump, as such no free-growing algaes elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiggie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi bro xiggie, Just a simple question, i am using those Led Strip which i get from online store. Will it be strong enough for this algae scrubber? It been 3 days but the screen like no algae yet. I'm not sure what kind of led you are using ,it would be helpful if you could give more detail on the LEDs , a picture would be good too. the algae won't grow so fast it takes about a week just to produce diatoms and slime algae, the green hair algae will follow after the slime algae stuff is cleaned off. It could take 2 to 3 weeks before getting the correct algae to grow and this depends on the lights you R using. if the lights are not strong enuff the screen will only grow the brown slime algae and red cyno. these algae will take up nutrients too but just not as effective as the green hair or tuff algae. 1 Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted December 29, 2017 SRC Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi new reefer here.. Do yall still use protein skimmer after adding an Ats? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app It depends on your bioload of the tank. If there is only a few fish , then ATS alone might be able to sustain, else is best use with skimmer.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote 1000 Gallon Tank in the Hole http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/120957-1000-gallon-3d-hole-in-the-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
