Santa Monica Filtration Hog1X Hang-On-Glass UAS Upflow Algae Scrubber ATS with Green-Grabber Textures & Extra LEDs
Product Description
This hog1x scrubber has over 24 square inches (150 square cm) of green grabber algal growth surface, which is designed to absorb the nutrients from this much feeding per day: 1 frozen cube, or 10 pinches of flake, or 10 square inches (62 square cm) of nori, or 2.8 Grams of pellets the number of gallons or liters of water in your tank or sump does not matter. If you feed more than the above amounts, you can get multiple hog1x units; multiple units are preferred over one larger unit because you can clean one unit per week, and because you'll always have one unit filtering while the other one starts growing again after a cleaning. Multiple units are also good for backup. The magnets attach the outside cover to the inside cover, through the aquarium wall, and can be used on glass or acrylic 1/4 inch (6.25 Mm) to 1/2 inch (12.5 Mm). Not more. If your aquarium wall is 3/4" (19mm) or bigger, then put the hog1x on your sump instead; it will work the same. No electrical parts go inside the aquarium; only air. And the air bubbler is already supplied (it's sealed behind the growth surface), so you don't have to get an air stone. The bubbler is simply vinyl air hose that has been cut lengthwise, and with cross-cuts, to form little flexible segments that are both adjustable and open-able to allow for easy cleaning. This hog1x will run on both 120v and 240v, and comes with a 10 ft. (300 cm) power cord with a U.S. Plug. If you require a different plug you can get an adapter at any local hardware or travel store, or online, or you can cut off the U.S. Plug and install your own plug from a hardware store. Get a timer so you can run the LEDs for up to 22 hours per day (freshwater can try 24). Requires an air pump that can pump at least 1.0 Liters per minute (.04 Cfm), which medium-cost air pumps can usually handle. Pumps that say they can handle 2 or more air stones/outlets, or pumps with 2 tubing attachments instead of one, will usually be more than enough. US patent 9,115,008.Feature
