Just a little update for the algae scrubber
After build and install, so fresh and so clean

And now several months later and several harvests later there's a nice thick 1/4" carpet of algae on the screens

It's about time for another harvest, usually monthly cleanings are effective

Very pleased with this system, really keeps the display clean and clear

Wow that Algae Scrubber seems to be working like a champ!!!!!!!!! Nice work! I am curious what is the material you have in the sump holding up the rock?

its like an internal acrylic shelf, the acrylic rails are bonded onto the walls and the support are small acrylic strips

Does the coarse substrate bother the eel?

I can't say, it seems it's more of a rock cavity dweller
