These bad boys are already moving and we just listed them on the site less than 24 hrs ago and they were also featured on the AquaNerd blog.

Interesting! I like my IceCap turf scrubber (non-PRO model) - it is very effective, but there isn't always a good place to put it. The new in-tank PRO option seems like it will make a good tool even better! Are there any review videos or side-by-side comparison between the old and the new scrubbers?

I am really looking into this scrubber. What size would I need? 150 gallon tank, high bio load , feeding about 4 cubes a day.
Are the led lights submersible like Santamonica Rain? Incase Sump water level rises?

It’s quite you can hear it but nothing a cabinet won’t suppress. Also it has gotten pretty silent with age and algae growth. The scrubber has become my absolute favorite tool in my aquarium.

Just an update received the Pro Medium today. After unboxing the scrubber was broken. This did not make me happy. I did not want to got through all the hassle and wait another week or more to get this fixed so I fixed it myself and glued the pieces back togeather. I can hardly tell where the breaks are. After moving my skimmer around to where I had my fuge at this gave me room in my first chamber of the sump to place this in. It was a tight fit but once in no problems. Scrubber can be adjusted height wise and I set it so the bottom of the chamber was just below the water surface. So far it is quiet and I can not hear it at all.
I did take the screen out and roughed it up so the algae would have a better go at catching on to the screen . I then rubbed some turf algae from the former fuge to seed the screen. Time will tell is this works or not. So far only gripe was it came broken.

Wow glad you have yours! Mine is being messed up by fedex. It says thats its in arizona since sunday and is still there. When i called they said they dont have it. I live in nevada btw so i cant go there to pick it up.

Well let me know how you like yours. Hopefully it keeps the nutrients down.

So far this thing is running quiet and flawless. The water falls over the screen evenly allowing for an even algae growth through the whole screen, no hot spots.
