Saya juga belum mengerti tentang algae scrubber, tapi ada artikel ini semoga membantu memberi pencerahan.

The Algae Scrubber method

As opposed to a wet-dry filter Algal Turf Scrubbers grow ( turf ) algaes on screens that are in a seperate, but connected, system located outside or below the main aquarium. The basic concept is that the algaes remove nutrients from the water as their food source.

These screens should be scraped every 4-7 days as the algaes grow most rapidly when they are short. Harvesting the algaes regularly during their peak growth phase allows the nutrients, which are drawn up inside the algae, to be removed from the entire system.

The flow of the water across the screen(s) comes from the main tank and is returned to the tank That flow should be regulated, and if possible, alternated not just run from one end of the system to the other. This can be accomplished by a tilt tray or a dump bucket that creates a surge across the trays. The surge idea is to give the algae time to exchange gasses and absorb nutrients as well as provide light to all sides of the algae for maximum growth in a small area.

For these algaes to grow they need light. The lighting of an algae scrubber should be run the opposite to when the main tank lights are on. The reason for using a light cycle opposite from the main tank is to maintain stable pH, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within in the system due to photosynthetic respiration. This prevents the wide range fluctuations found in most tanks. The type and output of the lighting will also affect the type of algae and growth rates. Nearly any type of intense light can be used, metal halide, VHO and HO flourescents, mercury vapor, halogen to name a few.

Within the tank, at the bottom, is a layer of sand or gravel approximately 1" deep. Placed upon the sand bottom is the live rock. The live rock forms the foundation that the living corals are placed upon.

cara ini sh popular sblm refigium dgn macro algae, biasa di apply di public aquarium yg memang sdh lama menjalan kan system nya.


sebenarnya system ini sama bagusnya dgn macro alage, sama sam butuh wadah yg membutuhkan lighting, tapi algae scrubber perlu maintain yg perlu di perhatikan & sedikit lbh butuh waktu, harvset tiap 4-7 sedang macro algae tiap 1 bulan 1x,
skrg org lbh seneng pake macro algae.

Beda atuh Om Leo. Memang xenia termasuk soft coral. Tapi bukan tangan2 namanya. Kalo Xenia spp itu nama lokal nya awut awut.

RALAT, sy kebalik, macro algae lbh dulu digunakan oleh hobbist, sdh 40 thn lalu di gunakan, ATS( algal turf scrubbers) itu baru mulai di pake thn 1991. anyway, keduanya sangat effective utk refugium system.
