Algae scrubbers

I came across 5 of these not home made. One 5 ft long and 4 of them about 2 ft long. Was wondering how well these work and if anyone uses them. Just looking for feed back. Thanks

Where are they located at?

They kinda take place of a refuge sump. You can find info at algaescrubbers.net.

The old commercially made ones that were only sold for a short period worked, but would turn your water green.

I had read that, but they said as long as you cleaned them in your sink the water shouldn't turn green. But I'd love to get the opinion of people who are using them now or has in the past.
