Due to the strong sunlight and my 24hours LED lamp, every 2 week, i have this amount of Algae growth.

wow.. i'm amazed that a submerged screen can also have such great growth... i think i'm gonna stuff some mesh into my overflow box and see what happens... heh

I think maybe the strong sunlight is helping

Yes, the sunlight helps because my tank is situated at the balcony and my overflow is facing outside. Anyway, even the growth in my overflow has slow down, see this latest picture for 2week's growth. There's also more green than brown algae now.

nicely done, measure the before and after test result will be even better! see how much does it lower.

is most of the algae growing on the mesh or on the glass? looks like it is growing on the glass instead...

There's more algae growing on the glass than the mesh.

Hi bro shaohui,

Since its fully submerged?Why not try a 3in sand bed with some chaeto?

Just my 2 cents

Thanks for the feedback guys, will look into improving it.

By the way, interesting, the algae is significantly lesser now with all the same light condition. See this picture compare with the previous one posted on 6mar09. I did not do any cleaning since that last picture and see the difference.

From the algae scrubber thread, I believe your concept is not correct....
