    ClearWater CW-50 Installation Reefer 250

    I have decided to by a Clearwater CW-50 from bulk reef supply on Black Friday with a new skimmer. I have spent some time trying to figure out how to mount this in my sump for the Red Sea Reefer 250. I believe I came up with a great way. There is not much information about this on youtube or...

    Triton and Algae Scrubbers vs Refugiums.

    I seem to have a problem growing cheato. I bought some cheato from Algae Barn a good few months ago and that seems to be a much thicker strain of cheato than what the local reefers and LFS have here. The Algae Barn stuff is hanging in there, but not growing and any of the local stuff just melts...

    Will this ATS / Algae Scrubber idea work well?

    Hi All, I'm newer to the idea of running an Algae Scrubber. I've always used other methods for my tanks, but the idea of an algae scrubber interests me. I've read a lot about them recently and see that the waterfall style is the most popular currently, followed by the UAS (Upflow Algae...

    How do I know what size Turbo Alage Scrubber to get?

    I get this question fairly regularly. Sometimes, the answer is pretty cut and dry. Other times, it's very much dependent on your specific tank setup and/or conditions. Things that might affect your decision might include (but are certainly not limited to): Feeding rate on an average daily...

    Clearwater 50 algae scrubber pump

    I just purchased a Clear Water 50 algae scrubber for my RSR250, anyone by chance have one of these or that can recommend a silent pump for it? Clear water recommends 150gph. I was told the jebao 2000 dct would work perfectly for this application but at 520gph even with 8 settings and maybe a...

    Too much flow through algae scrubber?!

    A little while back I made a super simple algae scrubber consisting of a 70gph pond pump and some vinyl tubing. I literally made a slight in the end of the tubing and inserted some of that sewing mesh into it and used zip ties to hold it in place. Many people said it was not enough flow however...

    Something other than plastic mesh for algae scrubber?

    Ok, I love the idea of an algae scrubber. Filtering through a more diverse, balanced eco system makes great sense. One of the first thoughts I had after looking up the basics is, why not use a nylon or polyester sock for the substrate? Everyone seems to be using some form of ruffed up plastic...

    Type of acrylic for building Algae Scrubber

    I'm thinking about building an algae scrubber. Does anyone have input on what type of acrylic should be used for building an algae scrubber? I noticed that the "Optix" brand acrylic at Lowes says it's "UV Stabilized" so my main concern with the acrylic is wavelength filtering. The LEDs being...
