I wanted to try out a turf scrubber and wanted to use the space I had my small refugium . I had an old mini acrylic tank I build laying around and thought to try and use that . I wanted to try somthing different and have it run down hill and used my kessil h80 for it .

Very neat, unique design! Interested to see how well it works! Looks perfectly reasonable to me!
 
Interested to see how it does as well. I'm also contemplating a similar style scrubber bc I'm space limited vertically in my stand and in my sump.

What are the dimensions? And size of the screen?
 
any updates on this? seeing any growth/progress? maybe still too soon...

just finished my diy version...doing a water/leak test in a bucket for now. mine is smaller than yours, but similar concept. spray bar at the top, an incline, mesh, red/blue lights and a drain. mine is fully enclosed with a lid, and i painted my clear container white (on the outside) to reflect light inside and reduce light spillage. hoping to get it set up this weekend after doing some rearranging in the sump and cabinet.
