Algae Scrubber (Nano Size)

Recommended Posts

Decided to make my own algae scrubber after wasting countless hours on youtube watching how well they worked for other people's tanks.  All in all I only spent about ten bucks on this project as I already had all of the tools, air pump, and LED to make this work.  The LED light would definitely be the most expensive part of the project, but I am no longer running a refugium on my tank resulting in my magnafuge LED not being used.  Sorry for the large images  :blink:.  Hopefully I get some algae growth soon so I can update with pics!

Good old Santa Monica upflow scrubber.   I recommend taping up the plug on the light so it does not get eaten up by salt creep.  Those work awesome in nanos if you have a place to hide them out of sight in the tank.

Thanks for the tip! How's your 70g Wrasse sanctuary doing? i'd love to see a updated pic of it for this year :)

It actually got transferred to the 225g.  But the big tank is doing good. I need to do an update on it tonight.
