My waterfall scrubber is working really well, with more flow. Last I checked nitrates are down to 15ppm, from 30ppm, a week ago. My tap water is 12ppm so any lower is all scrubber.
The 50 bulb array, is not leaking any electricity, so it will be going into my top tanks, up flow scrubber, to beef up the 20 watts growing algea. It will be growing it's own algea on the bare half , of a 10 x 18 screen. I am also watching the tank temperature, so I have a idea on the heat out put.
The drip thru scrubber, lights were cleared, but I never cleaned the screen, I scrubbed it white and ground on it a bit. I think it had too much scum on it for the algea to get a foot hold.
If the waterfall scrubber gets nitrate below 10ppm, I will probably convert the drip thur into a micro 2 sided water fall scrubber. I have too much flow for my fry hatchery to handle.
As I have 2 females holding eggs, that I should let, hatch out.
The small scrubber will provide a fresh food for fry, algeabits, and copods.
