Hi, I'm new to this forum but been on the "other" forums for quite some time which is where I came across SM's original posts.
I'm in the market for an ATS built for my tank in the UK. I run a HEAVILY stocked 2,000 litre tank and use a variety of filtration, both mechanical and biological. The tank is situated in my basement but has been carefully built in to the furniture around it, and my sump is basically full to the brink. My chiller lives outside and comes on only when the temperature warrants it, however there is always flow to it (albeit not particularly fast flow). I'm wondering if building something that can be mounted on my wall OUTSIDE (where I have effectively huge amounts of space) and then intercepting the feed to or from the chiller might be the way to do things. Granted, cleaning the algae would be a bit of a pain and getting fully weatherproofed power to it will also not be a lot of fun, but I can't currently think of many better options.
Is anyone able to build something for me on this sort of scale?
Thanks.
