Algae scrubbers help DT by:
using no3
oxygenating water
growing pods
You need to use a red turf algae, I got mine from Inland Aquatics.
Best to have a surge for algae or next best is waterfall type setup.
I used a $150 LED grow light(Mars Hydro - Ebay) on night time cycle. It would turn on when main lights went off then it would turn off 16hrs later.
Need to harvest regularly.
Size to gallonage and load of DT.
I would do it again but use a surge type and not waterfall.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Tim
