Some success stories of
people using waterfall algae scrubbers on different sites:
Aydee on the scrubber site:
"I'm going to call this a success. My nitrates had been sitting steady at
about 10 or so for over a year. For it to drop to undetectable in 2 weeks..
THAT is impressive. I have got my skimmer running still, but once my ATS is running,
I'll turn off the skimmer (not remove.. Yet....) If situation remains excellent
as the trend currently is, I'll remove the skimmer. However, I came into ATS
thinking "It can't hurt, as I'll keep my skimmer running" and now I'm
thinking "WOAH! They're right!".
Obviously, the proof will be
in 2 years time, ATS sans skimmer.. But.. So far, the numbers are
fantastic."
Robert_Patterso on the RC
site: "Best thing I have ever put on any of my tanks in over 25 years of
being in the hobby"
Pskelton on the RC site:
"I personally have not done a water change in 6 months ever since I
implemented my scrubber. long story short my tank was a mess, kid dumped
container of food in tank. I got a snow flake eel that dug up my sand bed and I
was running a very under powered cheep skimmer. This lead to my nitrates
peeking at 160. I did water changes for a while but the nitrate just keep
coming back up to 160. The water changes were getting expensive and I was about
to give up when I tried the scrubber. Within a few weeks nitrate dropped to 60
and slowly came down from there. As of my test last week I am finally at 0
nitrate and I haven't done a water change in six months. The protean skimmer
has been removed and my tank is healthier than ever. I am just waiting for the
algae on my rocks to finish dieing off."
Murph on the scrubber site:
"my ATS is coming along fine. I think I spent about 30 bucks making it.
When I compare that to the thousand or more I have spent on skimmers over the
past ten years or so that made little to no difference when it came to nuisance
algae in the display I want to pull my hair out. My ATS has out done them all
in a matter of a few months."
Spotter on the RC site:
"Nitrate Day 1: 5ppm, Week 1: 0ppm, Week 2: 0ppm. P04 Day 1: .035,
Week 1: .015, Week 2:
.0092 I am liking this very much."
JohnnyB_in_SD on the RC
site: "I feed about 6-7 cubes a day on a 100gl tank, and 10-12 cubes two
days a week when I do the nems & corals too. N&P have been undetectable
since I started using ATS, which is a mickey mouse rubber maid tub version.
Since I am always looking for the easiest way to do everything, I will continue
cleaning the whole screen once a week. For me, it was a real struggle
maintaining water quality with just a fuge: starving my fish, super skimming,
massive weekly water changes - just to keep Nitrates near 20ppm and Phosphate
under 1.0. That all went away with an ATS, the hobby is much more enjoyable and
not a huge chore."
Thedude657 on the scrubber
site: "So my screen finally filled out with greenish algae. Water quality
is excellent and now I have all sorts of cool things growing on my live rock.
Little white sponges are popping up everywhere, some stuff I have no clue what
it is yet. Just wanted to say thanks to help me get started."
Chrisfraser05 on the RC
site: "I just wanted to jump in and say after bumping into Santamonica on
a forum a while back and also watching Lafishguys videos I started a marine
tank [8 months ago]. Obviously I started my first tank with a DIY algae scrubber
and have NEVER seen either nitrate or phosphate."
Redneckgearhead on the
scrubber site: "Heres the pics of my HA problem. [algea all over]These
where taken just before I added my scrubber. I had tried EVERYTHING nothing
helped. I paid a small fortune for a skimmer that I was told would surely take
care of the problem. The HA laughed and kept on growing. My lights where down
to 3 hours a day, my fish where only fed a small amount every two to three
days, I was doing 10 percent water changes twice a week. And keep in mind those
picks are only about 3 days growth, I would remove about 80 percent of the HA
during my water changes. These are pics I took today just before my weekly
water change. [almost no algae] I am feeding daily, my fish are now fat and
happy. My scrubber is working beautifully! I am so glad I found out about
scrubbers. I am still using my skimmer, but I may take it off line as soon as
all the HA is gone. From the looks of things that shouldn't be much
longer."
Fragglerocks on the RC site:
"Ive gotten rid of 95% of all "bad" algae in the DT and my P04
Level is 0.12 checked by Hanna meter. Nitrates - Zero. I feed the equivalent of
2 frozen cubes per day, along with pellets whenever I think about it. up to 2
times per day."
Scrubit on the scrubber site:
"have been running a scrubber-only 90gal tank for over a year now with
great success. [...] I was ready to buy a big ol skimmer for my new tank build
when I came across some of the info SM had posted. That was all it took, and
I've never looked back. NEVER had algae in DT, NEVER had readable nitrates/phos
after cycle, and have probably changed out maybe 40gal of water since setup.
Personally I find running a scrubber almost as fun as the tank itself!"
Psyops on the RC site:
"I had a DSB and chaeto fuge. When I added a ATS, the chaeto disappeared.
I don't know if the DSB is doing anything. I feed my fish and tank from 1-2
times daily depending on my schedule. The ATS is doing really well, especially
when I added a Calcium reactor 3 months ago. I did not believe some of the
stuff people were saying on how effective an ATS system could be, but they were
mostly correct."
JohnnyBinSD on the RC site:
"I finally got around to putting an ATS on my tank 3 weeks ago. Just
harvested a pile of algae off it tonight. In those 3 weeks I have doubled the
amount of daily food I put in the tank, run the skimmer 6 hours/day instead of
24/7, and removed the lighting from the chaeto in the old fuge. Nitrates &
phosphates are undetectable, algae in the display tank is almost nonexistent,
fish are fat & happy. An ATS is the cheapest & most effective thing
I've ever done to improve water quality. I wish I had built one sooner."
Kcmopar on the MFT site:
"Its been about 5 weeks (started the weekend before fathers day) or so and
the green hair algae has stopped growing in my 40G. Yeah!!! Its all receding,
maybe just a few percent left at the base of a couple rocks that my coral beauty
snacks on. Just amazing. Started this 40G salt from Jump with an ATS. IT NEVER
CYCLED!!! I have little pods, tiny feather dusters, and other critters thriving
like crazy. Coraline already starting to spread across the tank. Nutrients are
always zero to just barely detectable on both the 10g and 40g. Also a note on
the 40G, I never had to do a water change yet!!! No test results ever got past
barely detectable. I have been dabbling with an ATS on a 10 gallon Freshwater
as well. Same results so far. I am building a bigger one for my 150G FW in a
few weeks."
Reeftanker on the MFUK site:
"i have cleaned it about 8/10 times now, about 50-90 grams of algae each
time and i have just tsted my tank i have on my test kits; Phosphates = clear
that means undetectable levels on my test kit, Nitrates = 1ppm maybe 2ppm, what
more do i have to say im am chuffed to bits and over the moon"
Etan on the MFUK site:
"Just to share some of my results with my scrubber. I set up my new tank
at beginning of Jan(Rio 400). The only filtration I have on the tank is a
scrubber and about 50kg of live rock. After the tank had cycled my nitrates
peaked at about 25ppm about 2 weeks ago. There were only 2 clowns and 2 chromis
in tank and small cuc. Just tested today after all stock and cuc from old tank
have been in there for about 1 week and nitrate reading is only 2ppm and not
much signs of algee in main tank or on glass. It seems to me the scrubber is
doing its job."
Weatherby68ss on the
scrubber site: "i have been into this hobby for 3 years now and was using
a wet /dry filter for the first year and a half or so untill i found out about
algae scrubbers. i have to admit i would not still have an aquarium if not for
my ats. its simply to much time, work and $$$ using any other type of filtration.
with the ats i can actually sit back and enjoy my tank and keep my fish fat and
happy with out worrying about the next water change because i hav'nt done 1 in
over a year! :D anyone thats thinking about building 1 all i can say is go for
it THEY WORK!!! nuff said"
Mgraf on the RC site:
"I have been running a scrubber for about 8 months now, at first I had a
skimmer running, macro's, rock rubble, and deep sand bed. Same setup as you
almost. I still have the deep sand bed but, eliminated the other stuff over
time for the sake of simplicity. I clean the scrubbers algae once a week, do
monthly water changes, feed often and alot, and my corals and fish have never
been happier or fatter in the year and a half it has been set up. Many may
disagree but, for me it is the easiest way to run a salt water reef."
Jukka on the RC site:
"I used to have various carbon sources + ATB Supersize skimmer as
filtration for my 400 gal reef. I never succeeded to outcompete nutrient
problems with those, no matter how much carbon I added. I also tried the pellet
version. Since building a large scrubber with lots of light, all problems are
gone. But I didn't take the skimmer out of the system and didn't stop carbon
dosing, and don't intend to. I just reduced carbon amount to about 1/10 of the
original. I like the effects carbon does for fungi, and other stuff like that,
growth. Though other reason for keeping skimmer online is the amount I paid for
the supersize ATB.

Mavi bantlı yılan balığımızla 5 yıl (I translate it with this name, because I don’t How it is called in Turkey.)
Bunlar ofisimizdeki mavi bantlı yılan balığımızın bazı resim ve videoları. Balığı 2006 yazında aldık, resimler ve videolar 2007 yılına ait.

Burada bugünkü hali
Vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5Qx_3g-t-A
Birkaç yıldır parlak maviydi, daha sonra koyulaştı ve üzerinde noktalar çıktı. Artık çok fazla yemeyi sevmiyor fakat istekli. Çoğunlukla içinde bulunduğu borunun yanına gelen küçük balıkları yiyor. Başta yakalayıp yemesi vakit alıyor ve bu balığı düzenli olarak 4 yıldır yiyor. Saklanması için pvc boru kullanıyorum, uzun olduğu ve kolaylıkla görünebileceğini bildiği için avı borunun içine girene kadar onu yemiyor. Biz onu haftada bir gümüşbalığı ile besliyoruz çünkü gümüşbalıkları onun çok sevdiği ateşbalığı (firefish)na benziyor. Google ‘da “my blue ribbon eel eats” (çok uzun olduğu için buraya yazmadım) diye aratırsanız yemek için birine sahip olmak konusunda birçok fikir var. Fakat bıunu yapmak için kendinize 2 hafta süre tanımalısınız.
Boruyu akvaryumun içine koymadan önce çekilmiş bir resim.
Eğer boru kullanacaksanız uçlarını bizim yaptığımız gibi yukarı çevirmeyin. Çünkü bizim yaptığımız gibi yaparsanız borunun içine pislik birikip çürüyor ve dışarı çıkamıyor. Bunun yerine boruyu tabandan biraz yukarıda ve düz tutun böylece pislik dışarı çıkabilir. Ya da daha iyisi borunun iki ucunu da çatı gibi aşağıya doğru açı verin.
That's so cool!
