Can u put an algae scrubber in a display tank not the sump
Yes, you absolutely can place a UAS in the DT. Not a waterfall scrubber, though. You can put a waterfall scrubber on top of a DT, I run my personal tank like this - scrubber on the back corner, pump in the tank (sumpless 120 2'x2'x4')
I don't use anything except a scrubber, haven't tested in a while but every time I do N=0 and P usually 0.02-0.06 maybe. Only algae on the glass. If I use a razor scraper it doesn't come back strong for a few weeks, but if I just use a magfloat no razor the coraline buildup lets it grow back faster. That's it though.
It's a 2 cube/day scrubber and I feed at least that much, usually about 1-1.5 sq in of either a DIY food or LRS Reef Frenzy. Sometimes 2 sq in. Only big fish is a yellow tang, then half a dozen huge BG chromis, a melanarus wrasse, bangii, 2 clowns, and I have an 18" wide x 18" tall elephant ear leather, can't say he doesn't soak up some nutrients too.
