Acrylic Scrubber Cleaning - Half at a time

This is the simple way to clean 1/2 of a scrubber screen. The purple stuff on the pipe is epoxy that I used to fill-in the crosscuts.

Every so often you do need to take out the whole pipe and clean the slot with a toothbrush. When doing this you can also clean the inside of the box, but be careful that none of the algae drains into the tank.

Excellent move to a more natural based reef keeping method. Thanks for your dedication.

Why are you so dedicated to this? You seem to be pushing it more then anyone would really do without motive.
