any pics of the sump setup?Hi! So I bought 20lbs of life rock and made a pillar, and also have a large rock arch. I really love that life rock. All of my rock but those pieces are live rock from my old tank and my LFS. Any new rock will be life rock for sure. Here are pics.....I am still working on my Aquarium photography skills. LOL!
Sure....here you go.....have a Reef Octopus 202-s skimmer, Reef Octopus Vario S-8 pump, and a clear water algae scrubber. I have live sand in the front compartment of the sump. I use 4 Red Sea filter cups instead of filter socks. I put one bag of Chemipure Blue in each cup.any pics of the sump setup?
Yeah I love my scrubber. Very easy to install....took about 5-10 minutes to install. It keeps NO3 under 10ppm (I feed a lot because I have 17 fish). The scrubber helps less with PO4. I have found it is the most helpful with NO3 though. It grows algae like crazy. I harvest one side each week, and do the opposite side the next week. I just took some pics of the scrubber plumbing. Hope that helps. Also I use a 350gph pump on it. I just bought a cheap one for the scrubber on Amazon. I bought two....one for a back up. It was like 15 bucks a piece! LOL!Interesting, I was curious as to how you plumbed the algae scrubber
I have seen many different ways of installing, I am contemplating on getting one. Since installed, have you seen a noticeable drop in nutrients?

Nice!!!! Nice job on the plumbing! How do you like the reactor so far? The scrubber does take up a bit of room in the sump...so that is a consideration for sure.That’s dope, I just setup the clarisea and hard plumbed it. Today is the 7th week since installing the biopellet nitrate reactor (BRS advised to wait minimum 8 weeks)
I am at a cross roads to buying a algae scrubber, and if I do.. how do I plumb ya know?

Yeah that would work. We bought this board off of Amazon....worked great. Here is a link to it if you want to check it out. That way you don't have to make your own. It fits perfectly!id move the nitrate reactor out, and I guess make a platform for the scrubber? any ideas?
