SRC Member tunicate Posted April 8, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 8, 2011 You can search for "scrubber" in this forum for DIY ideas. With regards to positioning the scrubber, you should feed the its screen with with water directly from the overflow. Its output should ideally go straight to the return pump.
