First harvests of the similar SURF8: http://youtu.be/3O-rXqToTuM Unboxing and installation of the similar SURF8: http://youtu.be/RjNwPOn9AHg Basic overview of the similar SURF8: http://youtu.be/ZmYW2_jP7pk The SURF8x (tm) floating surface Upflow Algae Scrubber and Seaweed Cultivator has Xtra LED lights for higher nutrient water, and floats at the top of your aquarium or sump and grows seaweed inside the filter. This then consumes all the "bad" things out of the water, and causes the nuisance algae in your aquarium or pond to start disappearing. The SURF8x does this because it give algae the best conditions to grow inside the filter: Strong light, strong flow, and strong attachment points in two separate growth compartments. This lets the seaweed grab hold inside the filter, and in doing so this algae consumes the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and CO2 out of the water so that your nuisance algae won't have what it needs to grow. And since the tops (the LED lids) of the SURF8x lift right up, you can just reach in and remove the growth without having to turn any pumps off. And you can use the growth to feed your fish and snails, or as skin wraps, or as fertilizer or seaweed salads. The SURF8x requires a high-volume air pump such as the Hailea ACO-9720 (25 watts) available here: https://pentairaes.com/outdoor-air-pumps.html Also required is a timer or controller for the LED lights. The LED lights are isolated from the power cord, and are triple-sealed against corrosion. The SURF8x is designed for this much feeding per day: 8 Frozen cube, or 80 Pinches of flake, or 500 square cm of nori, or 22 grams of pellets, and it grows up to 8 small handfuls of angel hair seaweed per week. 1 year warranty.
