I've seen a lot of talk lately about algae turf scrubbers, so I figured you might be interested in this DIY from PaulB. By utilizing the same basic principles of an ATS, he built this algae trough that's situated above his 40+ year old saltwater aquarium. Learn more: DIY Algae Trough?Fight Algae with Algae!

Paul B is a very good example of how what was old becomes what is new again.
