i'm in process of setting up a new tank and love everything i've read about using an ats. i've got 2 lamps that i'll put cfl's in so my screen is lit from both sides. i'd like to do 2 separate screens. if i do this, from what i think i understand, is that i only will need to clean one of the screens every 7 days? another thing i havent seen is what size pvc diameter should i be using? i'll be running a mag7 pump. thanks for the help!

3/4 inch pipe is good. Cleaning one screen every 7 days is good too; give 14 days to grow (unless it grows dark).
