My screen is 4"x6". Would this work in replacing my CFLs?
Skimmer or ATS first in sump? Reasoning?
I cleaned the screen today for the second time. I got a lot more green coming in but still some browns and such.

Is this clean enough?

Santa, just want to thank you for the help. I've been fighting with these nitrates for quite some time. To see 5-10 ppm is great, can't wait til they are undetectable.
The brown film algae that was killing my coraline algae has all but disappeared. I just tested NO3(Salifert). It has gone from 25ppm down to 5-10ppm! Woo Hoo!

I cleaned my screen last week. This week I still have a lot of brown slime but a few little tufts of GHA. Should I start on my weekly cleaning routine or let it go another week?
This is day 14 of my new scrubber. I have a bald spot on one side, I'll have to play with it a bit. I think I have to screen too far up in the slot. Should I clean it yet?

This is what I have after about five days. I have a bald spot on one side, flow not strong enough? When should I do my first cleaning?

How about it?
I picked up a couple flood lights this morning. I'll post pics tomorrow, when they're set up.
What do you think? Will this be okay or should I try smaller reflectors?

On my way to work, I think I came up with a solution. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to get smaller reflectors. Thank you.
I played with the fixtures a bit and came up with this.

The light is now pointing more towards the center of the screen. Thoughts?

Critiques are more than welcome.
Hi all, in the process of building my first ATS. Would my photoperiod be opposite DT or does it matter?
Thanks for the quick replies! I'll run them 9 hours a day. Should photoperiod be opposite DT?
I need 12 watts on each side of my screen. I have 23 watt spiral CFLs, 2700k. Could I mount the bulbs without reflectors? Move the bulbs back further than 4"? Or should I just look for the correct...
12 watts each side? I appreciate your help.
Oops. Just re-read your post, total watts.
So, if I plan on feeding 2 cubes a day, would a 6x8 be good? Or would I double the sq. inches?
I'm new to the site and scrubbers. I'm in the process of building one. Are these the most current guidelines?
My screen is 7"x10". I plan on feeding 2 cubes a day. How much lighting will I need?
