Hi Guys.. Since I am new to Algae turf scrubber and I find it real interesting and tried on my 10 gal refugrium for my 75g display reef..
I understand you guys are using light direct to the turf, I was not able to do that due to not enough room, but Once I understand the function of ATS
I will make a lot of adjustments.. Here's the pictures I use two light fixtures from Finnex's refugrium on each side of turf.

Want to check with you on color of algae on turf..

The lights really need to be directed at the screen, perpendicular. Doesn't look like your setup is very easy to make that happen. You're really not going to get effective scrubbing with the lights positioned where they are.

Yea that's what I figured.. at least I started something and will make some adjustments to have lights to be directed at screen... Especially I am doing the project (40g breeder for refugrium) which will make the possibilities unlimited!
