302 Aquatics Are a small manufacturing and design company based  in the USA That have been in the Hobby for over 35 years. First made aware of scrubbers at frag show in 2008, Liking the idea but not its implementation came up with a waterfall in a closed box design. Their design worked so well for themselves, They wanted to make them for everyone. Apparently they have made few design changes because the original worked so well. They offer numerous sizes and custom versions as well as commercial units with over 50 different model variations available.
