Well started my project today. Been reading alot about ATS and I wanted to try it. I am currently running GFO,GAC and bio pellets. Still getting some cyno and some HA on the rocks, but not too bad though.

So, following the new guide line in DIY ATS, I am going to make a screeen size of 5x9. I want to keep it small enough to fit into my sump area. And I am going to use LED for this.

I know you guys love pics. :D

Use coupling to easy cleaning.

So, I don't know if I want to go with the Morgan or slots...

I'm curious as to why you extended the notched ends higher than the long sides, the primary point of spray is from the area near the pipe.

Well, my mistake as I miscalculated the measurement. (remember to measure TWICE and cut once).. :( But don't worry I will jerry-rigged something up to prevent the water spray.
