Mega Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover - DIY!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thx for the response SANTA and zenzzo.!!! :grinno:. My scrubber is 9 by 7 inches and I didn't sand it ( should I still do it?).I am using the scrubber on my 125 fowler w/ 125 or more live rock. It houses a 5 inch emperor angel. a 13 inch snowflake , a 6 inch dogface puffer , a 5 inch greenbird wrasse ,2.5 inch picasso trigger, 2.5 inch brown tang and 2.5 racoon butterfly. My live stock has a very big bio load as you can tell. Santa , I did check my water before my algae growth. medium green for nitrite and medium orange for phospate via API test kit.Although it's bad, My fishes seems fine . When do i whipe my scrubber??? Is it time ( 1st pic) ? Santa, would you consider my 2nd pic a dual or triple scrubber?( I added it 2 days ago , any opinion good or bad ) I had some emperor filter pad and bio wheel. 3rd and 4th is the current scrubber set up w/ skimmer and the rest are tank shots.. THX again!!!

I know, I know...

here ya go, 20 days out . . .

Thats how mine looks right now, about a week in. Oddly enough there is little to no growth right where the lamp is the closest to the screen. Like yours, the growth has concentrated where there is less intense light.

Strange isn't it? almost like indirect sunlight is better for starting growth...
 
This is fascinating watching so many of the same projects at work at the same time.

Zen it may have started slowly but it has really kicked in in the last 5 or so days
