o Reduces N and P to much lower levels than fuge/macro can. And faster.
o Is very quick to respond to excess nitrate and phosphate spikes (the turf "screen" always
stays the same size after it is trimmed); much quicker than refugiums/macros which have
smaller surface areas after they are trimmed.
o Traps no waste/food like a refugium or DSB does; waste/food flows right past the screen.
o Does not release strands into display, like chaeto.
o Does not go sexual, like caulerpa can.
o Is 1/2 or 1/3 the size.
o Weighs nothing.
o Cools the water.
o Much easier to clean/harvest.
o Can be hung above tank so pods drain into tank.
o Is free.
o Is portable.
o Can run two, for backup.
o Will oxygenate the tank if main return pump goes out, if the scrubber drains into the display.
