What is a Algae Scrubber?
An algae scrubber filters water by moving water rapidly over a rough, highly
illuminated surface, which causes algae to start growing in large amounts. As
the algae grow, they consume nutrients such as nitrate, phosphate, nitrite,
ammonia, ammonium and even metals such as copper from the water. 2) These
nutrients are normally a problem in aquariums and ponds because they cause
nuisance algae to grow, and also because they cause sickness and/or other
problems in aquarium fish, invertebrates and corals. 3) An algae scrubber
allows algae to grow, but the algae grow inside the filter instead of in the
aquarium
Cleaning and Harvesting
Generally, and except for specific continuous-filtering or
continuous-cultivating versions, algae scrubbers require the algae to be
removed ("harvested") periodically from the scrubber. This removal of algae has
the effect of removing undesired nutrients from the water because the algae
used the nutrients in order to grow. The algae is generally removed either:
Every 7 to 21 days, or
When it is black, or
When it fills up the scrubber, or
When it starts letting go, or
When nutrients start to rise in the water.
The screen is removed from the pipe and cleaned in a sink with running water.
The pipe is removed also, and the slot is cleaned with a toothbrush, to remove
any algae that have grown up into it. After the algae are removed, the screen
and pipe are put back in the scrubber.
Lighting Schedule
Your Scrubber should run the opposite of your display lights. Your Scrubber
will need 8-12 hours of lighting a day to maintain the algae on the screen and
be efficient.
