Saw this on another forum regarding removal of nitrate and phosphate with algae. Useful for both SW and FW tanks

Looks cool, I have way too much algae in the nanoreef I'm setting up for the girlfriend, and a large baffled off section I may be able to install a version of this in.

Some forums actually prohibit this? Yeesh. If you have to *restrict* users from posting links to other forums in fear of losing them, then you clearly aren't focusing your efforts in the right area of customer retention.

Wow, this scrubber looks AWESOME! I'm definitely going to building one for both my marine and freshwater tank!

Just found out my freshly-mixed 1.004 water has phosphates between 1.0 and 2.0. Must look into this.

Y'know, this could work double-duty as the snail breeding tank.

Many sites prohibit that but not ours! I find dosing vitamin C works quite well for phosphate/nitrate reduction.

Good to heard that puffer forum is not afarid of the competition. The double duty as a snail breeding tank is a really good idea. For vitamin C dosing, you use the powder form?

[Agnate]

Yep (she told me which stuff to use, so I imagine it's the same as hers).
