DO ALGAE TURF SCUBBERS WORK?! | 180G REEF TANK SALTWATER REEF FILTRATION

With all kinds of Aquarium Technology around why should I add a Simple Algae Turf Scubber to my Expensive System? I have a Santa Monica Filtration Scrubber Called the Surf. It is and Up flow Scrubber do to the fact that Air gets pumped thru the bottom of the box and into a net of Stringy Grabbers. The Algae then attaches itself onto the Strings and is Grown with a Red Led Light that sits on top. Now what the Scrubber is doing is keeping any nuisance algae out of the display tank. The scrubber itself is taking carbon dioxide and other nutrients and misc garbage out of your water system. The scrubber is allowing a growing system allows that surge of water to have a place for this Green Algae to grow. It does take some time to establish a natural environment for the Algae to get established. But once it does you can enjoy the natural growth taking place in your aquarium sump.

5 cubes of what?
915Mang
915Mang - 6 years ago
I actually rinse out the Turf in the sump. The ATS is done by how much/often you feed your tank. 5 cubes a day ect....Which I only feed 1 cube every 2-3 days Thanks Rotter!

yeah i get what your saying, i did a DIY HOG up flow scrubber not long ago but not having a lot of success so far. i think when i finally upgrade my take i will make the leap to buy one from santa monica, at least i know i have the best hope of it working. do you know if they have have the scrubbers on sale?
915Mang
915Mang - 6 years ago
They are expensive, but so a skimmers. I guess you gotta look at it like that. But I totally understand, Ill spend all my money on corals everytime, lol

Remember that if phosphate starts coming out of the rock, algae will increase on them for a while.

915Mang - 6 years ago
Santa Monica Filtration Its not coming from my rock. It’s growing on pumps and glass.

what about refugiums pretty similar and a lot cheaper the fuge has to be a decent size for it to be effective also to be on the triton method..... thats where I'm headed water changes are a pain!!!!!!!!!
915Mang
915Mang - 6 years ago
Fuge are great, Cheato does work as well. Water Changes suck, so Im hoping I can do less

Fluconazole works great to get rid of the hair algae quick but you still have to get rid of the main reason why your getting the algae.
915Mang
915Mang - 6 years ago
+Joe's Reef Thank You Joe I’ve heard good things about the Fluconazole I got most of the GHA out, I just used tweezer tings that I have. Came out pretty easy with the flow off

"The worlds most dangerous marching band". Cool. I am deciding if I should get a small skimmer or a small scrubber for my 29g... What do you think?
915Mang
915Mang - 6 years ago
+John Zimm If you can get a drop that would work. But get a skimmer for the 29g
