Hi guys,
I an having issues with aglae. I want to try building an algae scrubber to help with the problem.
I have a space shortage so i dont think i will be able to setup a screen in or above my sump.
What do you think of building a remote scrubber? Run a pump from the return chamber to a bucket near the tank, and then use another pump (or gravity) to get the water back to the sump?
How big would the screen need to be if my total tank volume is about 320litres?
What kind of flow is required to get good growth on the scrubber?
In terms of lighting, for the scrubber, will energy saving bulbs be okay or do we go with the high wattage bulbs?
Thanks
