IceCap Algae Scrubber Pro - Small The IceCap Algae Scrubber Pro - Small is an in-sump algae turf scrubber for aquariums up to 100 gallons. It uses controlled algae growth on a removable illuminated screen to export nitrate, phosphate, and other nutrients from aquarium water while keeping algae growth concentrated in the sump instead of the display tank. Small IceCap Pro In-Sump Scrubber Overview This small Pro model is designed to sit directly in the sump beside other filtration equipment. Water from the included EVO-1000 pump trickles over the algae screen, which is illuminated by two 7W LED lamps. As algae grows across the screen, it consumes nutrients from the aquarium system and can then be harvested to physically remove those nutrients from the tank. Small Pro Turf Scrubber Features In-sump design places nutrient export directly in the filtration area. Rated for aquariums up to 100 gallons. Uses algae growth as a natural method for reducing nitrate and phosphate. Included EVO-1000 water pump feeds the scrubber screen. Two 7W LED lamps provide 14W total illumination. Adjustable height design works in 4" to 10" sump water depth. Screen can be harvested every 1 to 3 weeks under normal conditions. No external plumbing is required for standard in-sump installation. Reverse daylight operation can help support pH stability when programmed opposite the display lighting schedule.

Position the scrubber where the screen can be removed for harvesting and where the pump intake will not be blocked by debris. Use a timer or aquarium controller for the LEDs and avoid removing all algae from the screen during harvest. Official IceCap Turf Scrubber Video Using the Small IceCap Algae Scrubber Pro Place the scrubber in the sump, install the EVO-1000 feed pump, and confirm water flows evenly over the screen. Run the lights on the desired photoperiod, often opposite the display lighting schedule. When algae covers the screen, remove the pipe and screen, rinse them under water, scrape off a portion of the growth, and leave some algae behind to help seed the next growth cycle.
