    Algae Turf Scrubber or Roller Filter?

    I'm looking to get either a roller filter, or an algae turf scrubber to help control phosphates and nitrates (don't want refugium, use GFO/Rowaphos, a bio pellet reactor, or NOPOX). Who has a favorite that won't bottom out nutrients?

    Turf scrubber with no algae

    Hi all, Just ordered a Santa Monica Surf4x algae turf scrubber to manage nitrates and phosphates. I have buildup on the glass requiring scraping once or twice a week, but I’ve never had any hair algae in the tank. Do I need to seed the scrubber with anything? Tank is about 9mo old

    Got nutrients? This scrubber crushes all others. My Nitrates were in the 60s for months (phosphates weren't great either) and this scrubber did an amazing job getting everything under control. The design is genius -- you can slide out the tray for cleaning; and the unit either sits on top of...

    Dr. Tim & Mark Callahan video says refugiums / ATS don't work well for nutrient export

    Key points: Refugiums and algae turf scrubbers can't run nutrients low enough to run an ultra low nutrient system; They make a system phosphate-limited, so you're always going to have residual nitrate; Algal exudates tint the water yellow and require protein skimming; Quote from 5:17: "[a...

    Grow Algae to Fight Algae - Santa Monica RAIN2 Review

    In this video I discuss growing algae with a focus on the RAIN2 Algae Turf Scrubber. In my opinion, there is no better way to keep nutrients in check, and combat algae in your display than a properly size refugium, algae reactor or algae turf scrubber.
