ALGAE CLEAN SCRUBBER

BY WATER STREAM REFUGIUM

1: Finding the right spot to house the ACS to your sump             

    filter. The ACS needs to be in the min max water level on the

   front and back. Adjust level height.

2: Lighting is all in place. You can move the light fixtures up

    to  view the algae screen on both sides.

3: Hooking up a pump to the ACS. You have a QD fitting

    on the spray bar screen and a 1/2”  barb fitting for 1/2”

    tubing. Remove the QD  when putting the tubing

     on the barbed fitting then put the union back together.

     Pump size or flow over screen is about 200gph. You can

     use your return sump pump by tee and valve to control

      the flow.

It depends on how available nutrients, nitrates and phosphates is in your tank on how fast algae will grow, if it’s taking to much out, you can adjust the lighting cycle and/or  use the touch control for the lighting to increase or lower the brightness level.

Finger touch the power icon less than 3 seconds for on/off, touch the power icon for more than 3 seconds for dimming function to lower or rise brightness level.

 The Use of Algae to Control Excess Nutrients. Natures Way.

Algae Clean Scrubber  uses algae as a natural filter to move excess nutrients (Nitrate, Phosphate and other pollutants) to grow algae in a controlled unit to be easily removed to clean or harvest most of the algae and not in your display tank. This form of water filtration can reduce the need of frequent water changes and cleaning.

The advantages of a Water Stream Refugium Algae Clean Scrubber

1. LED Lighting slides into window pockets to enclose lighting into main algae chamber on both sides. Allowing no light on outside.

     Note: Best to run ACS lights opposite of display tank lights with a timer to help stabilize pH swings.

               Also if the algae is growing to fast and pulling to much nutrients out, you can use the dimmer control to dim the lights down        for less algae growth.

2. The easy removable screen housing for cleaning and harvesting algae.  If screen is damaged it’s easy to remove and install a new screen.

3. Water inlet 1/2” ID with removable union to tee off from your main return pump or a separate pump.

     Note: Best to have a valve to shut off water supply to ACS for cleaning and harvesting algae or just unplug power to the pump.
