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.
