New Fiberglass Scrubber

[mikepao13]

Verry impressive mate..well done - excelent output

i have made my scrubber and its very similar to yours.

Difference is that my box is plasic - painted black on the outside
and the ligths are attached on the side - 8 of them

ill post some pics on a new threat later today... and i hope will work as good as yours cos i have a real problem since i removed my nitrate reactor and phos media

my dilimma as follows:

cant decide what material to use for the screen

1. a very rought - up plastic one as yours
OR
2. the plastic mesh thing used in this scrubber - see link below...

Can you please advice where to get the wireing and electric work for that through a webshop? Where I live (top of the globe) you don't get to buy stuff like that for less than a fortune :p

Alternativly, if you please could post the specific names of the parts.

Thanks in advance

have a problem these brown things keep coming on screen and then it goes in main tank
does any one knows y and it has a high smell to it
when you start cleaning in as if its will knock you out i have to get fresh air so strong just start doing it
the main tank has brown hair alage in it when i clean the screen it goes in 4-5 days the scrren has this brown coat on it as in picture

Try adding some iron, like Kent's Iron + Manganese. Should make the yellow turn green.

You don't want to increase flow if the screen is already letting go of things.

i see these growing on my rocks do you know y please

[SantaMonica]

Can't tell what they are. But they are sure to go away with the rest of the nuisance algae.
