Fresh Build: The Clean White Stage

Beautiful images and amazing tank. Could you possibly give the link you followed for the DIY turf scrubber. so many variations but looks like yours is working well


Don't really have a guide, but you can buy the LEDs on eBay for $10. Just search for 12v led strip light / grow. A ratio of at least 4-7 red to 1 blue is ideal for algae. I glued mine to a piece of white acrylic, then put clear acrylic over it.

The scrubber is really basic. It's just a strip of pvc with a slot cut down the middle. You cap one end and plumb the other to your pump. The screen itself is sold at any fabric store. You rasp it up with a hole saw to get it nice and prickly. It's hung from mine with a couple pvc connectors chopped down to c shapes. You rotate them to release the screen.

It would be better to have lights on both sides, but I haven't seen the need.
 
My wife and I will be moving to Sweden this june. The tank and coral has been sold, but won't be forgotten.

It's been a wild ride.

Stay salty,
Rob
