Scrubber materials

When figuring out what materials to use for an algae scrubber, don't neglect considering strings... sometimes they can hold on to the most growth, because they are narrow and light can get to all sides of them.

Do you have any recommendations for the composition of the string?

Anything non-cotton is good. Nylon, polyester, etc.
