I'm looking for an algae scrubber but I don't have a sump. 33 gallon tank. What are my options? It's in my family room so would like something really quiet.
Above the tank is your only option of course.I'm looking for an algae scrubber but I don't have a sump. 33 gallon tank. What are my options? It's in my family room so would like something really quiet.
Yes, good thinking.
Do you have any suggestions of one?Above the tank is your only option of course.
If you have the bottom edge of the scrubber screen sitting just touching, or just below the surface of the tank water there will be zero splashing sound. & your fish will be able to dine on the growing algae.
I was looking at their website but all of the options were confusing. Do you have a suggestion of one?
What country do you live in?Do you have any suggestions of one?
The size of a scrubber is based on the square inch surface area of the screen the algae grows on, & how much you feed your tank on a daily basis in cubes equivalent. Sounds a bit confusing at first, but it's actually very simple.I was looking at their website but all of the options were confusing. Do you have a suggestion of one?
Right now I'm feeding flakes. About 2 pinches a day. The lfs said not to feed frozen because then that's all the fish would eat. Not sure if that's true or not though.The size of a scrubber is based on the square inch surface area of the screen the algae grows on, & how much you feed your tank on a daily basis in cubes equivalent.

I looked there but it was hard to determine which one of those can go in the DT and what I would need.
From what I've read it would be difficult to retro fit a sump.Nobody is going to suggest incorporating a sump into his setup? It will help solve MANY problems
I was watching the BRS videos and they said they are a good idea.Can I ask why you want a scrubber specifically ?

They are a good idea, but they are specifically used as a way to control NO3 & PO4 levels. Do you have a problem with these nutrients being high?I was watching the BRS videos and they said they are a good idea.
