Hi Everyone,
I've been following Algae Turf Scrubbers since SantaMonica brought the subject to MFK (and everywhere else :mrgreen: ) (thanks, by the way).

And to the stealth screen name "catfish" at RC, thanks for the invite.

I'm working on a 360g tank that is a long way off from being finished but I've been looking into ATS's for the primary filtration. Space is a major concern so I have been looking into LED's. The cost is a major factor but I can do it by pushing the completion farther into the future :/

Glad to have you onboard.
If cost and space are a factor, consider Compact Fluroescent "PL" type bulbs, pretty cheap bulbs (about £2/$3ish), but you have to buy the starters/ballast (around £20/$29), but one can control two lights, put mirrors behind then and you get a 1.5 to 2" thick light that produces much more light than you can buy for the same price in LEDs.
