Thanks. Theoretically, the bubbles will deliver more carbon to the algae, allowing better growth in a smaller space. Practically, however, it...

Sounds like the smallest screen will do, 3 X4 with 12 total CFL watts.
A useful way to stop bubbles if your UAS is not in a box: [IMG]
Soap, then alcohol
I don't think so. Chaeto is limited by self-shading, and self-blocking of flow.
They should be melt-safe, but you should test it. They are made with PTFE or PET, I believe. You just need to wash the mold-release off.

They are actually black. Blocks 100% of the light. And microwave ones should not melt either. The only light is little red dots from the holes, and a...
There totally was. Nano people are the least likely to be able to build a waterproof acrylic box and put it above their display (although some did).

One 3-watt LED can cover a 2 X 2 screen, so one on each side would do it. Or both on one side with a reflector on the other. Plastic mirror works...
It's 7.5 watts, and would be 1-sided. Would work for a 15 square inch screen.
Waterfall scrubbers generally raise pH by 0.1 or 0.2. Upflows should be the same if the amount of growth and photosynthesis is the same.
Scrubbers are now sized according to feeding. Nutrients "in" (feeding) must equal nutrients "out" (scrubber growth), no matter how many gallons you...
Glad you like the info. Eggcrate won't work... needs to be a very roughed up think plastic material like plastic canvas or knitting screen. Needs...
