I think a verticle scrubber would be a better design but there was just no way to do it in my current set up. I plan to rectify that soon. A plexiglass "box" that is relatively tall and 6 or 8 inches square (or what ever size you want) that has the feed water go into the bottom of the box, fill it up, then spill over the sides and trickle down would be ideal. Little or no splashing would occur, especially if you broke the water up with rubble or something. This is my plan for my upgrade. The only thing I haven't worked out is lighting it. Probably two spotlights pointing at it diagonally so that one light will light two sides. ...What cha think?
