Can you figure out what happened to this HOG3 upflow scrubber? It was brand new when installed, but the user did something which caused this to happen (see photos). The contest person who guesses what happened most accurately will win a new HOG3 shipped anywhere in the world (winner supplies...

It's not known how long this one went.

With the increased usage of natural algal filtration such as algae scrubbers, comes the increased usage of illumination to make the photosynthetic filtering process occur. However a certain type of light has come onto the market, and this light needs to be addressed because it is potentially...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oWedD-WWX8 Premium Aquatics unboxes and installs our HOG1. This tank is actually too big for the HOG1 but the concepts are the same as smaller sumps and AIO tanks. And the algae the HOG grows not only filters, but can feed your fish too. See...

Want decent 30, 40, or 55g with stand, top, and any kind of light, delivered to Santa Monica. No sump or anything else.

With more people wanting to use natural filtration for their tanks, we are going to look at the two main types of units that you can put on your system: Chaeto reactors (or "algae reactors") and algae turf scrubbers (ATS). We won’t be looking at refugiums however, since those have mostly a...

One of the neat things about nature is that it's had a long time to figure things out. Especially under water. Here, nature has figured out how to reduce all the "nutrients" to very low values, and also how to feed every aquatic animal (as well as consume half the world's CO2, and produce half...

If you had to divide up different brands of controllers into groups that focused on particular tasks, what would the groups be?

Upflow Algae Scrubbers from Santa Monica Filtration As a proud new sponsor of SCR / PR, it is great to be able to present our upflow algae scrubbers here. The whole algae scrubber concept is new to most people, so don't feel left out if you don't get it at first. The biology is simple though...

Checking again, to see if there is anything new in LA, especially West LA.

If there is a teacher of biology or science that would like to set up an aquarium for nutrient recycling study, or a cultivation tank for sea vegetable growth study, we can supply an upflow algae scrubber / seaweed cultivator for it. Requirements: 1. The email request or private message must...

Would like to donate an algae scrubber to a bio or science class, to teach nutrient recirculation, etc. You would need to supply your own aquarium (10 gal petco tank, etc.)

Pick up in Santa Monica

Many people, when they get their scrubber running for the first time, get worried when more (not less) algae starts to grow on their rocks. It seems really strange, especially when nitrate and phosphate have gone lower than before. What is happening is that phosphate is coming out of the rocks...

3D printing your aquarium parts For those of you serious DIY folks, you may be interested in how you can make your own plastic aquarium parts by printing them on a 3D printer. Just this year, costs for the 3D printers have dropped to under $500 USD for a pre-built one, and under $200 USD for a...

Anyone have info on any new stores in West LA or nearby? Medusa seems to be getting rid of all their SW, not much is left. Nature Aquarium on Santa Monica has only a few SW fish. The Aquarium on Pico (across from McDonalds) is gone. The store that was on Wilshire and Lincoln for 20 years is...
