~3 week ATS on 110g results

[Puff]

Sup people, I'm new here with the ATS. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and green algae is starting to grow massively. Here are some positive results.

My screen is 12"x12" lighted by 2-23W CFL. It's an overflow method so I'm getting around 1200gph flow through the screen.

8/31/11
Nitrates - 40ppm
Phosphates - 1ppm

Phosphate still at 1ppm
Nitrates at 20ppm (-20ppm from last week) :D

I tested right after I fed, maybe that's why my phosphates showed no improvement. Plus I make my own food so yea it's dirty as hell..

I'd say this is going pretty well, I did not do a WC and it ate my nitrates away!!!

Great job, looks like the last reading of nitrate is 10 ppm not 20 ppm.
