Hi Everyone!
I saw this awesome video (I wish I could claim I came up with this idea first), and was so inspired by its simplicity that I thought I'd try to make it, and save some money. I checked out BRS, and the most basic one goes for $350.
I've attached an image of what his looks like, and what mine looks like. I actually did a double layer. One issue with the way I did it is that I (maybe?) should not have ziptie'd the screen to the bottom because I will not be able to scrape off the algae of the back/back grid. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions to improve it!
If you have any cool ideas, I'd love to learn/try something new! I have a pretty basic tank, and it's 32 gallons. I've been thinking about a filter sock, protein skimmer, as well as a refugium.
Enjoy!
(It is kinda large/bulky for only a 32 gallon tank - do I really need 2 layers?)
