Ok cool, Thanks again for all your help, I turned my HOB off this week and all my levels are showing 0 on the tests :)

Really? I thought brown was a sign of a lack of nutrients?

Thanks SM, So today I took a look at the screen and saw some brown spots. Any ideas? Im assuming its because the tank has alot less nutrients now. I threw in some iron supplement, and I will reduce...

So its been two weeks and here are the results:

Non-lit side:...

A mag5 would work: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4590&rel=1

an Ehiem 1250 could work as well:...

8x35 = 280gph. It depends on how high your tank is from your pump or how high the scrubber is from the pump depending on your configuration. If your scrubber is fed directly from an overflow and your...

Youll need at least 35gph per inch of screen width AT the slot pipe. Make sure whatever pump you get you test it at the height it will be running. Mag Drive and Ehiem pumps are the ones that are...

Will do, thanks SM. Ill post back in a few weeks just to make sure everything is still good. Thanks again for your help as its already been a great addition to my tank.

Thanks! Im pleased with it so far, my tap water here has 15-20ppm of silicates that combined with high Nitrates created a constant diatom issue. The ATS is already diminishing the diatoms which is a...

Ok will do, keep everything else the same I assume?

Im already happy as my Nitrates go up about 20-40ppm per week. I was doing 50% water changes weekly and already after one week with the ATS my...

I finally have a week of scrubbing under my belt and Im pretty pleased with the results so far.

My system consists of:

-Live Reef Overflow
-Mag5 pump
-Custom built sump (about 8 gallons...

Ok thanks SM, today was the first day that I had it running on my tank so hopefully Ill see some results soon :)

Hey all, So I finally got my build running, Its not on the tank yet but just attached to some buckets and my scrubber/sump. Im having an issue with the water flow being away from the inlet of the...

No this would be my first one :), This is a rough draft and Im open to change as only the tank itself is made, but I will box in the LED array with plexi, it will also have a fan on the back to help...

Hey all I made a post on another site about this but I figured I should post it here as well to get a bit more input regarding my design.

This project started because my tank is over stocked, it...
