There are a few but they dissipate quickly......The T piece works great...

Just thought id do an update on my system..
nitrates read at .25 to .5 ppm
phos 0.08
I dont get great algae as yet, mainly dark slimy and a bit of a red tinge. I also think I am getting a bit of diatom on there as there is some on my sand and a get abit after 2 weeks on the glass, very minimal.
I have pulled out the bulkhead at the bottom of the ats and just glued t ppiece to the acrylic....this has allowed me to increase the flow a bit which, with a better slit cut, is giving me a way thicker, more even flow down the screen. Lets hope this helps my growth.....just as a note, I am finding that I am getting evidence of green stringy algae growing from the bottom of my ats. which is about an inch submerged.... what the?
Update,,,,
I only get awesome 3d growth from the submerged part of my screen.. Is this about normal... How can I improve this..... also the algae grows off the bottom of my ats so I constantly have to take it apart to scrape the acrylic....... I have changed my t5's out every couple months..
My nitrates hover around 2-4ppm which Id like to improve.... I do feed around 6-8 cubs worth of food daily......
Also, I get spray from the pipe after bout 3 days as growth starts. I think I loose some scrubbing as this water just trickles down the acrylic and back into the tank...... My 'slit' isnt great. im thinking of doing the loop over thing but waiting to see what SM pulls out of his hat... with version 2.
Yes just wait a few weeks.
