Looking for a good Alage Scrubber

[Terry DeMott]

I have a 180 gal tank w/40 clownfish and 12 Anemone. I am having trouble with pho 2.50 and nitrates at 32 I have been trying to get this down for over a yr I tried clearwater scrubber didn't work at all then a Santa Monica rain 2 that didn't work either and last by not least Santa Monica surf 8 still not working either. Can any one help me please. Is there one that will work Thx.

So what is your issue withe scrubbers? No algae or no reduction in N and P?

What other filtration are you running? Skimmer, media reactor with GFO/GAC, filter socks?????

 

[Terry DeMott]

I have filter socks just started GFO again with the scrubbers no drop in Pho or Nit

No skimmer?

Are the scrubbers growing algae? If so, then they are working, but may not be big enough. I have an L4 from Turbos Aquatics on my 200 gallon system, and it works great, but I wish I had room for a larger one...
