Cleaned the screen today.
Scrubber moved back to the main display as I have the nutrients in the tank under control now.
If it were me, I'd go with a 4:1:2 ratio of royal blue, blue and neutral white. For added colour pop, add in some cyan, lime and violet.
Cleaned the screen today
Almost a week after being cleaned there's green and brown growth on the screen. Hoping that as the nutrients in this small tank are pretty low,...
You don't need to seed the tank with green hair algae, it is introduced naturally. I've found it does take a while before you see green hair algae...
Gave the screen another clean today, and moved it to a new small tank tank, seeded with some GHA from the other scrubber screen. Some dark brown...
Took the scrubber offline today. Getting decent GHA growth where the slime algae is not growing, but that's probably only on 10% of the screen. I...
A few days later and the growth again is pretty dark and slimy. I can only assume the slimyness is caused by the high nutrients in the tank, I...
Giving the screen a clean today. The growth is fairly slimy, I think because of the fairly high nutrients in the tank.
Looks nice, good growth for 10 days in.
Pic of growth several days later. [IMG]
Growth still hugging the top part, but is slowly popping up on different areas (mostly on the screen side not visible in the pic). Will give it a...
Getting some green tinges around the edges, I realized a couple of days ago the intensity was much too high, so have dropped it down. [IMG]
The acrylic arrived yesterday for my next experimental scrubber, so I got started on building it last night, and finished it today. It operates in...
I use a hole saw, works fine for me.
Looks pretty sweet. Was this just for test purposes? How will it continue to spin when there's the sand mixture, or algae growing, on the surface...
Great job. That mirrored finish does look really nice. As a side note, after many delays, I got my acrylic for the next built today, but the laser...
I like this wheel design, it reminds me of some commercial scrubbers I've seen. The difficulty like you say though, is getting the wheel to spin...
Hadn't thought about using mirrored acrylic, it sounds like it would work great. I don't think I would go down that path with this scrubber...
