Algae Scrubber Chronicle: 9/1/2009 + Green Bubble Tip anemone hosting True Percula Clown Pair


Ok, so this algae scrubber has now been running since 8/7/2009 and the impact it has had on my aquarium is stunning. More and more algae seems to be disappearing daily and I think its safe to say that this filtration works! I’m hoping that all the algae from my aquarium will be gone within 2-3 more weeks.

Also, I have begun designing hang on back versions of the algae scrubber which I will attempt to build and sell. They will be small, but functional and efficient. Unfortunately, some of the parts that will be used in the designs are turning out to be rather expensive and I am estimating that finished products will cost around $200 – $300, which is a small price to pay considering it will replace several pieces of equipment.

Finally, the True Percula Clown pair that I bought with a green bubble tip anemone are doing great. The clowns have bonded with the anemone, creating, in my opinion,  one of the most beautiful symbiotic relationships this hobby has to offer. Here are a couple quick snap shots I took…the Iphone camera does not do it justice.
