Algae Scrubber/Reactor........your thoughts??

Carz · Nov 22, 2019

So I upgraded to a 250 gallon. I made the stand, the sump the ATO tank, frag tank and I decided to make a algae scrubber. I never used one, but thought this may be the way to go instead of cheato in the fuge. I finished my home made scrubber today and got it up and running. I really am not sure what to expect with algae growth since the tank is kinda new. I did dump all the contents from my 75 into the new 250 and things are doing well. I am hoping for some algae (imagine that....hoping for algae). I bought some lights off of amazon that have some good colors. I am in the testing phase as of tonight. This was my first scrubber I ever made and wanted some thoughts on what to change. Please ignore the mess of my sump and all of the wires. I am a neat freak and this is killing me. The system is only 2 weeks old and I am adding and tweaking every day. Also please ignore the the fancy 2inch painters tape hinge. I ordered black acrylic ones from amazon and got pony tail bands.

I am going to post this in the DIY as well so excuse the double post...
