Once I am ready start adding the equipment I'll create a progress thread.
Thread with my current build of UAS: Here
150g seahorse system:
75g seahorse DT
25g deep sand bed fuge and cheato tumbler
55g sump
40g fuge for pod production
Arduino based controller for dimmable LEDS and lights over fuges, heater/chiller, ATO and RO/DI production.
Temps run between 70-73*F.

To help increase bubble contact on a single sided screen what about a slight tilt in the screen? It would seem to force contact while not giving up much in the difference of distance to the lights top to bottom. The heatsink would be where my LEDs would be.

Yes, that's what I did with the CFL screen... it touches the glass at the front. Thick algae gets compressed, however. Also I had two tetra's get stuck there.
They got stuck in the algae mat?
I'm assuming that with the top against the glass the fish were caught in the upstream between the glass and screen.

Ok, apologies in advance if this has been posted and trialled already but at 37 pages thats a lot of reading!!!:
I couldn't find a wooden airstone of any length in the UK, only the blue things which disintegrate after a short period in salt water and then I had a thought....why do I need an airstone, why don't I just cut a slot in the airline and slot the screen in there? Just trialled a very basic version and it seems to work just one side really well but I literally just threw the screen and airline in a jug of water as I don't have any airline long enough!
Since airline is plastic, all you need is a stanley knife and ruler to cut and cable ties to fix screen to airline similar to what you do with a standard waterfall design. My thought is to pass the airline through some PVC piping which will cause the airline to sink to the bottom of the sump
Has this already been tried?
