jamesbuf October 19, 2007 Share October 19, 2007 I found this on RC and was curious to know if anyone has ever used one. Its called an algae scrubber? Just when I thought I had seen everything for our hobby. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...hreadid=1231407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowerseller October 19, 2007 Share October 19, 2007 They use those, or used to use those, at the Smithsonian exhibit. A guy named Dr Walter Addey was one of the pioneers and he a Julian Sprung got into some rather heated debates about them. One at a CMAS meeting soon after we founded it. Julian maintained they promoted unwanted algae growth in the display, Addey that it prevented it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal October 19, 2007 Share October 19, 2007 I've seen them on FW tanks and have read about using them on SW tanks. Something I'd like to try someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason the filter freak October 19, 2007 Share October 19, 2007 If you read the thread before it was closed the guy said he builds the things and it was a brand new one so I'm pretty sure the thread got booted for being comercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeltwayBandit October 19, 2007 Share October 19, 2007 If you read the thread before it was closed the guy said he builds the things and it was a brand new one so I'm pretty sure the thread got booted for being comercial. I believe you are probably right. From the looks of it the thread was moved to the moderator discussion/deleted threads area. Just because a thread gets 'deleted' doesn't mean it is "deleted." We do the same thing from time to time here. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
