I´m impressed of what 660nm LEDs can do.......................

Are they the best light fixture that you know...............???

What´s the biggest harvest you get....................???

I mean............what light system produce the best Algae harvest................???

another great post!

Thank you once again!

660nm red LED is best for algae growth.
If you are using LED light, it need to be 0.5 watt per sqare inch of the screen

OK............thanks...............

Renato, Ramon, deu certo o projetinho de vocês?

nao consegui utilizar o espaço. mto apertado, pouca área pras algas.

Eu to tentando montar... na realidade nao consegui acertar esse fluxo de aeração.

A principio montei um refugio com uma macroalga e uma tela em outra ponta. Para iluminacao usei fluorescente grow-lux pra água doce.

Air Pump Recommendations for UAS® upflow algae scrubbers®. Having bought and tried all of these, here are the best ones:


Flow (highest to lowest):

Coralife Super Luft... TONS of flow for multiple outlets or multiple scrubbers
Tetra Whisper 300... High flow if both outlets are combined into one
JW Aquatic Fusion 700... High flow if both outlets are combined into one
Tetra Whisper 150... Good flow for one outlet
Coralife Luft (regular)... Good flow for one outlet


Noise (most to least):

Coralife Super Luft... (Loud; vibrates)
Coralife Luft (regular)... (Vibrates)
JW Aquatic Fusion 700... Slight vibration
Tetra Whisper 300... Silent
Tetra Whisper 150... Silent


Size: (big to small):

Tetra Whisper 300... Large
JW Aquatic Fusion 700... Medium
Coralife Super Luft... Medium
Tetra Whisper 150... Medium
Coralife Luft (regular)... Small


Cost (most to least):

Coralife Super Luft
Coralife Luft (regular)
Tetra Whisper 300
Tetra Whisper 150
JW Aquatic Fusion 700

Overall winner for a single UAS scrubber used at home: JW Aquatic Fusion 700 (also is the only one with adjustable flow)
Overall winner for multiple UAS scrubbers if noise if ok: Coralife Super Luft

1982: The original dump-bucket style algae scrubber (works, but very hard to build, install, operate, and harvest)

2008: Waterfall style algae scrubber (works good but hard to build and install; must be removed to harvest)

2011: Upflow style scrubber (work goods, easier to build and install on the glass; must be removed to harvest)

2013: ??? (work great, all 3D growth, easy to build, and instant in-place harvesting without needing to remove anything or turn anything off).

Se alguém está esperando para construir uma cachoeira ou de fluxo ascendente purificador, em breve estaremos postando os planos do novo purificador de superfície flutuante. Ele flutua no topo e não precisa de uma cachoeira, e ele não brilha através do vidro.

--------------------------

If anyone has been waiting to build a waterfall or upflow scrubber, we will soon be posting plans of the new floating surface scrubber. It floats at the top and does not need a waterfall, and it does not shine through the glass.

Looking forward to know this new design .....

Como construir um purificador de superfície flutuante

How to build a floating surface scrubber:

How you know if need more bubbles ?

Much bubbles will be better. make as much bubbles as you can.

First 13 days of growth in a floating surface scrubber. This one used four LEDs of 3 watts each, 660nm (red), but you could also use a CFL bulb...

Even more harvests from the floating surface scrubber:

Really nice!

divertido mucho também :)
