So what is an Algae Turf Scrubber
An Algae Turf Scrubber is a Natural Water Filtering Device that is Designed to Purify and remove any build up of Algae contained within a display Fish Tank either Cold Water Tropical and Tropical Marine.
Its Functions is to remove all High Nutrients like Nitrite Nitrate and Phosphate which is a common cause for an Algal outbreak contained within the Display Tank.
This is Carried out by means of a specially roughed up screen where the tank water flows over the screen as a waterfall which is lit with Hydroponic Led Lights to maintain a growth of Turf Algae upon the Screen and in turn it will purify oxyginate and remove all unwanted high Nutrients then once the screen matures it will then outcompete for the nutrients and the algae within the main display tank will then begin to dissapear.
