By the way, this ATS was built with smoke/clear acrylic because it was free. I had considered buying some opaque black acrylic but decided that the extra light in the sump area wouldn't be a problem.

That's some serious building
Like the build !
Can you show how water is fed to the screen ? It is gravity fed ? And how screen is supported in pipe.
Looks very complicated, you spent a lot of time thinking this one out!
What size tank is this for and how much do you feed?
Super super nice build... but I would hate to see your bulb replacement cost each year. Assuming those are T5HOs not just regular T5s (Ballast just says T5 though, so maybe they are standard T5s), and using the cost of $8 per bulb, replacing 12 every 3 months your looking at $384/yr just in bulbs. I think building an LED light for that size scrubber would cost about 1/2 of just the bulb replacement costs for 1 year, and you would get the added benefit of using less electricity and not have to worry about replacing bulbs/LEDs for probably 5 years.
