I am in process of setting up a Clearwater CW-200 algae scrubber on my Red Sea 9XXL. It barely fits in cabinet (height wise), and I am not sure I will have much room to remove screen for cleaning. Does any one else have similar problem?
Also, what did you use for shelf to hold scrubber above sump?
 
When I do get a Algae scrubber I plan on using pvc and fittings to create a platform that will simply fit on top of the sump. Sorry, can't help on the Red Sea cabinet problem though.
 
What are the dimensions that we’re working with here? Does the scrubber physically fit into one of the sump sections? If so, make a PVC platform that allows you to place the scrubber into one of the sump sections. You just need to design your PVC platform so that the scrubber stays above the waterline in the sump when the return pump is shut off. That should give you the height you need to comfortably pull the screen in order to perform scrubber maintenance.

Thanks. That worked
