Hi mate,
Very nice setup - TOP MAN
Which chemipure product you have in your sump and why?
Do you have any issues with the Xenia?
Many thanks for your response.
This is a very interesting approach and i will possibly go that way. Put two units (4 tubes) on one side and after few paycheques :D add another two on the other...
The plan was to put two tubes (one 2x24w unit) on each site
A unit of 2 x 24w is approx Euro 80. Cannot get four now - plus im a bit reluctant whether this will work or not...again and dont want...
No, not one bulb per side...but one unit per site - each unit is 2 x 24
Thanks mate
looking to put one each site!! would that be ok?
how close should the light be?
there are some jewel lambs (the same make as the unit)
the closest k is the 4100k one for plant...
Hi guys,
i want to save the idea of the ATS on my tank and its either update the light units of my current design or build - spend more on a new one....
This is a pic of my current ATS for easy...
Nobody is using them?

Is anyone using these or tested them??
Grobeam series are mainly used for refugiums or planted tanks.
Why then other cfl designs do work??
Can i use reflector lamps? or not recommended?
Hi there
I cannot put cfl reflectors - cone shared.
They will not fit and i cannot find any anyway
Its getting on my nerves -- i don't want to fail again
Acrylic is expensive in Cyprus and...
I cannot find any round cfl type reflectors , and if i do, i will only fit two on each side
4 do not fit :(
seems that i dont have any option
do you think it will stay like that
....so...

What do you think?
Note that its been running since 28 oct 10.
Had some N and P drop but still strugling...
Cleaned today
Compared to pics above, now the flow at the end of the pipe is increased and now the water is evenly spread across the screen...
So i have to upload first to youtube for example and then put the link?
how i add one?
Hi linx,
what do you mean balance
i wll clean tomorrow and post some pics. No, the flow is not actually calculated but i beleave now the flow prob is over. Hopefully flow is good and lights are enough so finally it will work.
If...
Thanks guys,
Flow from pump is 735g/h. The flow problem at the end of the pipe - screen has been fixed and now the flow is very good.
Its not morrors. Its aluminium foil. I will try to add some...
I will try to add the arcadia t5 reflectors on the space where the aluminium foil sheets are.
I will cut in pieces and fill up that space. Hopefully it will increase the illumination and make it...
Hi guys,
Its been quite some time since my last update but im still struggling to get GTA.
I have added some aluminium foil ''reflectors'' in my design for couple of weeks now, fixed the flow...
Hi mate

If you get them just let us know how you find them...
Its an interesting discussion guys.
Two different opinions os ATS and refugiums...

Hi mate,
Thanks i will
i thought he was following.
Its a 3/4 size pipe.
Can you do it?
What type / make of LEDs are you referring to?
...and phosphates as well
Anyone can help?
very nice
just waiting to see actual pics
Hi matey,
Total pipe length 65cm (so i can cut accordingly)
Total cut slot 50cm
Pipe size, don't know for 100%, but what is the "normal"size used for a 200g ATS?
What size is the one used for...
What is the plan with all that wires?
Ok, thanks,
I will confirm pipe size and revert.
Dont know if you can see from the pics and tell me?
Thanks cheers
I dont know if its a result of my ATS but my sump if FULL of small white tubs with futher duster worms insight them.
Got many in my display tank as well, red and brown ones, different sizes...must...

This is the only one i found to mention algae scrubbers on their description. More or less all iron makes are the same but the idea of ATS is growing...
Excellent,
Thanks very much mate for your help.
Just let me know and i can send size etc.
Are you cuting your parts for your ATS as well...?
Thanks for your reply.
No, i need the pipe part, cut, and ready to use(i have mesh screens).
I am using my second design now, http://www.algaescrubber.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=780
this...
ok, thanks
Cyprus mate.
Any of you guys making them?
Hi guys,
Is anyone making and selling ATS screens, cut and ready for use???....
Thanks a lot.
Not Even close?
So best available option is T5?
As per above subject.
Do you guys think that those strips(TMC Gro-Beam 500 strip) is suitable for ATS growth?
Two of those on each side of a screen of 20x 10?
i know few people on UR site...
SM,
Are these lights suitable?
