I ordered a 302 aquatics scrubber and custom acrylic stand. The day after the item shipped I received an email that I am up for a turbo scrubber which was my 1st choice. The unit will be 12x8x8 with 4 lights, 2 drains and lid, the acrylic stand is 14 inches tall. I will post pics when this unit comes in next week. Wanted to see if there was any interest in this before I purchase the turbo.
Asking $240 shipped. I paid $280.

Scrubber came in, waiting on lights. It's very well built, 1/4 acrylic.

I am using this scrubber now, no leaks, acrylic well made, still wanting the Turbo's Scrubber so I will drop it to 210$ shipped. Can send pictures of it in action. Also I have an upgraded slot bar coming in Saturday and will include it. The main reason I want to switch is this goes in my sump and it's a tight fit, Turbo's will go on top of the sump.

125 gallon, but that's based on reducing water changes and not using skimmers and reactors. I would say based on others scrubber recommendations it's a 2 cube/day scrubber.

Quick question can you have Cheato in your refuge if you're running a SCRUBBER?
I added a Turbo L2 to my 57 and had a sump full of cheato. Within 4 weeks the Cheato collapsed and was dying off quick - had to move it to a ATSless system to keep it alive.

This scrubber has really been great, keeps my aquarium clean no matter how much I feed. I wanted a turbo but I am happy with this one.
