I shortly reported in a french forum on mediterranean aquariums my experience and they started trying the technic:

they never read anything about ATS, and unfortunately they are less able in reading english even than us, Italian so I tried to translate in french SM receipt; they started immediately! so we are waiting for their results .
About my ATS, it's going greener but, most of all, hair algae are regreding in the main tank! I have to find out the best light/dark ratio and the best flow, but the even if the ATS is not still at the best regime, the tank is going better and better
Happy green new year to all, folks!!
