IceCap Algae Scrubber - Small (20 Watt)

The IceCap Algae Scrubber offers a natural filtration solution, effectively removing nitrates, phosphates, and other pollutants from your aquarium. Designed for ease of use, it helps maintain a healthier tank environment while reducing the need for frequent water changes.

Features:

• Natural Filtration: Utilizes algae to remove contaminants like nitrates and phosphates.
• Controlled Algae Growth: Grows algae in a dedicated setting, minimizing algae in the display tank.

• Versatile Use: Suitable for freshwater, saltwater, and reef aquarium systems.

How It Works:

• Installation: Mounted above the sump, it drains back into the filtration system.
• Algae Growth: Water trickles down a screen illuminated by LED lights, promoting algae growth.
