I'm with Turbo. The cost of an over sized heat sink may be an extra $10-$20, whereas, the cost of a hand full of LED's is in the same range.......
Also FYI, I used heatsinkusa's 6" low profile and it works great as well. I have 5 Phillips 660's running at 700mA and the profile is 6" long....
I would like to chime in and note that the base of the profile Turbo uses is a profile with a nice thick base which helps the heat flow from the...
It's been 20 days since I cleaned off my scrubber so I figured it's a good time to do it. I got a little bit more growth than last time I think...
@txfish See my experience with HOG 0.5. It wasn't so great... https://www.algaescrubbing.com/threads/the-hog-0-5-scrubber.292/page-2
I took a look at the screen today. It's not too bad but I didn't wipe it off completely. I just barely scrapped off the very top thin layer....
Well luckily I do have a way to increase my flow if necessary. When I first installed this pump I knew it pumped much more than the tank could...
I think I'm running the lights for 14 hours a day (opposite to the main lights). The tank is 40 gallons. I feed about 4-5 cubes a week (I should...
Herewith an update (it's been a really long time). I've been getting consistent growth but in my opinion not enough. I've scrubbed the thing...
A neat little article about what exactly is exported with respect to a few export methods. It would be really interesting to send some algae...
If you bought a huge amount of those LEDs (like say 12x35=420 LEDs). You could wire up 35 parallel strands of 12 LEDs. This would split your 700...
I would go by the advice of both Turbo and Peter. Here is my input: 1) If you're using an air pump, you need a lot more pump when you make the...
It's 5 of the Philips LED's (the ones you recommend) running on a 350 mA dimmable driver. I'll probably upgrate to 700 mA dimmable so I can...
Slightly late update. I took the photos yesterday I just didn't have the time to post them. The screen is growing in very nicely and based on...
Essentially, I bought a small plastic trash can from WalMart flipped it upside down and run a 2" PVC pipe through it. The pipe has about a 1/4"...
New update. I've moved the scrubber to a more advantageous location: [ATTACH] My back yard... This is because this thing never really cut the...
On my API kits nitrate and phosphate are below detectable. So technically that means <5ppm nitrates and <0.25ppm phosphates. That has been the...
New update: I've been offshore quite a bit lately. In that time, I have left the scrubber alone and managed to let it really grow in! I gave it...
You bring a very good point about the money saved by going with a $35 iPhone spectrometer and you're correct in the fact that you will get...
I remember learning about bandpass filters in college physics so I understand the underlying theory and can definitly say it is not a bunch of...
