I supose it is but you are now adding a tone of maintence to the system, algae skimmers have to be cleaned regulary as well as do mechanical filters (even more so) you can cleam a skimmer once a week in 10 min. also from what I have read about algae scrubbers is that you have to watch for algae spreading to the tank if your not real carfull.

I like the idea of algae scrubber personaly but they take up a lot of room and from everything I have read are labour intensive.
