Hello guys, so few time (new job for an oil industry!) but the ATS is going very well helping to keep fine the tank. The main tank is close to the new equilibrium, and green algae are almost...
I believe a mess to pick-up drums and clean them.... it could be less tall than a screen but wider... i' can't see anything useful in such design...
Great job! nice the new platform, clean, bright, and fast! Thank-you!
"seeding" the technic
I shortly reported in a french forum on mediterranean aquariums my experience and they started trying the technic:

they never read anything...
Why not? the only issue could be the temperature, because the high IR content in sunlight allows to warm quickly any thin layer of water, although flowing.
then I'll try such a time :)
few days of the new bulb superimposed on the old brown algae. The thickness is about doubled. hoping after cleaning green algae could start better. I started with 6 h lighting according to SM...
Nice solution such led.
In cold water I've found the ATS the easiest, safest and cheapest way to control nitrate and phosphate. Easier, much easier than a DSB, less tiring, although needing more...
Interesting corner! Just a question: what temperature do you keep the water?
In mediterranean tanks we keep the water between 17°c and 21°C according to different environment the tanks are...
OK, thankyou; it should be better for me because temperature is matter of care in our cold tanks
Finally,the new bulb is on :D !
85 W real watt, 2700°K, 100% PAR, E40 socket:

I needed to make a new support with acrilic, because the bulb...
Yes. Or, better, white gorgonians are zoox. bearing but they can live very well also without them; without strong light they need more feeding.
ehm.. sorry, I'm writing on behalf of my friend...
May be an effect of light: if you watch to the first pic you can see the green wires spread on the white sink. It is the same kind of algae I have in my tank :mrgreen: and I hope to transfer them...
yes, and when the new 2700°K, 85W (real not equivalent) new bulb will work I'm stopping the skimmer, I want to try your recipe at full :). In the pic of Eunicella cavolinii regenerated tissue is poor...
although my ATS is not still well running (I need a bit of time to make a new arrangement) and turf is still dark, the water quality is going better and better, and delicate animals such as plumes...
substrate allows biodiversity and lot of critters, if made with proper sand and well populated since the scratch. Fishes find lot of food in the bottom. But many invertebrates like streams difficult...
I can give you the answer: Stefano was really fed up with its DSB. That f*****g DSB never starded (in about two years), it was expensive and heavy to build (made of calcium carbonate, as to say...
I tried to change the bulb but it is not enough, production is still dark :cry: even if I cut away a cup of "mud" each week; I have to change the array doubling bulbs or adding lateral tubes. A...
third week: still short and brownish; I've made a reflector cutting a long one for T8 and doubling it laterally, but the light seems to be not enough yet . In big shops I didn't find stronger bulbs,...
the inspection engineer is checking the job is properly done
thankyou SM, next days I'm trying to fix some things according to your advices to improve the system. As you can see in the next pict. folds in the screen reduced the useful area; I'll try to fix it...
update after fifteen days; it seems starting :) now I have to improve the system. mirror and, if I can find enough space, a tube on the back. tomorrow, first cleaning! :D
good points of interest! and new experiments to carry out! As matter of fact my problems come from a crash due to a power failure (3 days last summer without circulation and chilling); I saved few...
Thankyou SM for your precious advices! I'll try to comply all the indications about materials. About the screen I asked the producers, they told me there is any treatment (we have some strict...
Thankyou. I’ve seen that mirror, is wonderful 8-) , may be on september with some friends we’ll buy some materials all together. Now I’m studying the best curve to create a plexiglass shape to be...
Hi all!
Finally, I started my scrubber trying to solve the problem of algae in the tank.
My tank is a Mediterranean aquarium at 17°C (62.6°F) of about 240 litres (63 gal) with mostly azoox...
thnx Simon, I was referring to the last picture. There is a fan on the heat sink? i believe it is necessary for leds, otherw. their life time is shorter than usual.
very interesting, but... what about the cooling? could you post where did you find it? Thankyou :)
