IceCap 50 PRO Hang On Back Turf Scrubber Fight Algae with Algae with a HOB Turf Scrubber! IceCap PRO Hang On Back (HOB) Turf Scrubbers use algae as a natural water filter to remove nitrate, phosphate, and other pollutants from your aquarium water. Rather than having algae grow uncontrolled inside your display tank, an algae scrubber allows you to grow algae in a controlled setting where it can be easily removed - thereby removing contaminants from your tank in the process.This all-natural form of water filtration can reduce and even eliminate the need for water changes. Best of all, the scrubber hangs right on the back of the aquarium, no sump or plumbing is required! Plug-and-play even comes with its own IceCap EVO feed pump. Ice Cap Hang-On Back 50 PRO Algae Scrubber Specifications Dimensions (LxWxH): 11.3 x 5.3 x6.7inScreen Size: 7.4 x 3.5inLED Wattage: 6w / DC24VFeed Pump: EVO-400 (6w)Fits Tank Rims: 1/4-1 3/8inMax Flowrate: 105gphAquariums up to: 80gal How the IceCap Turf Scrubber Works IceCap HOB Turf Scrubber is designed to be placed directly rim of the aquarium with the included EVO 400 pump placed within the aquarium. The water going into the scrubber is trickled down onto a screen that is illuminated on both sides by a powerful field of LED lights. As algae begin to grow on the screen, it "scrubs" the aquarium water of excess nutrients, resulting in fewer algae growing inside the actual display tank. Once the screen is covered in algae, it can be "harvested" by removing a sizable portion, thereby removing the contaminants from the system. How to Harvest Algae from your IceCap 50Pro Turf Scrubber Remove the top and loosen the quick-release union on the side. Lift the pipe and algae screen out and run them underwater in the sink. Use a credit card or similar scraper to remove the buildup. Be careful not to remove all of the algae from the screen as this will slow growth when placed back into the system. Leave some algae behind to seed the next batch so that it can grow faster. Under normal circumstances, expect to harvest algae every 1-3 weeks. When to Run Your Ice Cap Algae Scrubber Many hobbyists prefer to run their algae scrubbers on a reverse daylight schedule to help stabilize the pH in their aquarium water. This can be accomplished by plugging the LED lights into a timer or aquarium controller and programming it for a 12-hour daily photoperiod that runs opposite of the daylight schedule of the display tank lighting.
IceCap Algae Turf Scrubbers use algae as a natural water filter to remove nitrate, phosphate, and other pollutants from your aquarium water. Rather than having algae grow uncontrolled inside your display tank, an algae scrubber allows you to grow algae in a controlled setting where it can be easily removed - thereby removing contaminants from your tank in the process.This all-natural form of water filtration can reduce and even eliminate the need for water changes. Best of all, algae scrubbers are safe for use in freshwater, saltwater, and reef aquarium systems.How it WorksIceCap Algae Scrubbers are designed to be mounted above your sump so that the water flowing through the unit can drain back into your normal filtration system. Water can be fed into the scrubber by a standalone pump, via a manifold, or through the drain of your display tank. The water going into the unit is trickled down onto a screen that is illuminated on both sides by powerful full-spectrum LED lights. As algae begins to grow on the screen, it "scrubs" your aquarium water of excess nutrients - so you'll have less algae growing inside your tank. Once the screen is covered in algae, you "harvest" it by removing a sizable portion, thereby removing the contaminants that fueled its growth from your system.IceCap vs Other BrandsUntil now, hobbyists looking to setup an algae scrubber would either build one themselves or invest in one of the very expensive units currently available on the market. The problem with doing it yourself (DIY) is that not everyone is capable or willing and the materials may be unsafe in a wet and humid environment. Using a commercially available scrubber solves the safety issue, but the high costs of these units has historically been prohibitive for getting more hobbyists to adopt this effective form of natural water filtration. Our goals in building the IceCap Algae Turf Scrubbers were to make them safe, easy-to-use, and most of all, affordable. You aren't going to find a more affordable waterfall-style algae scrubber than an IceCap ATS! Not only are units from other brands more expensive, some companies will try to up-sell you another $60 for a "light shield" to prevent the bright lights from the scrubber from escaping and shining into your sump or living space. Not IceCap! Our scrubbers are already enclosed to stop light bleed. You don't have to remove a bulky light shield to harvest your algae, either. Just flip open the hinged door on top to access the algae screen when it comes time for maintenance.How to Harvest AlgaeFlip open the door on top and loosen the quick-release union on the side. Lift the pipe and algae screen out and run them under water in the sink. You can use a soft bristle toothbrush to remove stubborn buildup. Be careful not to remove all of the algae from the screen as this will slow growth when you put it back into your system. Leave some algae behind to seed the next batch so that it will grow faster. Under normal circumstances, you will be harvesting algae every 1-3 weeks.When to run you ScrubberMany hobbyists prefer to run their algae scrubbers on a reverse daylight schedule to help stabilize the pH of your aquarium water. You can accomplish this by plugging the LED lights into a timer or aquarium controller and programming it for a 12-hour daily photoperiod that runs opposite of the daylight schedule of your display tank lighting.Emergency Drain FittingIceCap Algae Turf Scrubbers are equipped with an emergency drain fitting in case the main drain ever gets clogged with algae.IceCap Algae Turf Scrubber - Medium 60W Specifications Dimensions: 16 x 10 x 12in (LxWxH) LED Lamp Number: 2 Wattage: 60w Inlet Size: 16mm Outlet Size: 1in Recommended Flow: 500gph Tank Rating: Aquariums up to 225gal

The Reef Octopus Light Reactor is a natural filter which utilizes macroalgae like Chaetomorpha to absorb and remove algae-producing nutrients from your aquarium's water. As macro algae grows, it will consume nutrients in the water. Once you harvest the macro algae, the nutrients are then removed from your system.Besides being a all natural approach to filtration, Algae reactors also provide a safe haven for copepods and Amphipods.The Reef Octopus Light Reactor's unique triangular waterproof LED light (IP67 Certified) strip inside the reactor maximizes light exposure for the algae with 360 degree coverage, aiding growth and nutrient consumption. The close proximity of the high-output LED strip gets as much light to the macro algae as possible and quickly grows the macro algae.Features A unique and safe method of natural filtration Greatly helps remove algae-producing nutrients from water naturally Perfect safe haven for copepods and amphipods to reproduce and naturally feed the aquarium Unique Triangular LED Strip for 360 degrees coverage Inner LEDs provide safe high quality lighting Stabilizes pH and lowers dissolved CO2 levels Low wattage and safe operation with heat sink Integrated algae containment plates Can be installed externally or in-sump Specifications Tank Volume: 50-160gal* Body Diameter: 6in Total Height: 20in Footprint: 9 x 8in LED Power: 20w Circulation Pump: AQ-1200 Aquatrance 1200 Circulation Pump Specifications Power: 15w Max Head: 4ft Max Flow Rate: 340gph *The size of light reactor your aquarium requires will vary depending on the amount of nutrient reduction needed.
