    Where is your ats located

    Hi my names cole i have a 210 gallon fish tank and. I am hoping to make an ats for it but first i have a few questions. So right now my plans is to have two one sided nets that are 20 inches by 10 inches with 4 cfl bulbs between each net. My main questions was where does your ats tie into your system or do you run nothing but your ats.
    Thank you

    I run one above the sump fed via a pump, oversized, but will soon get replaced. +1 on convert the fuge, it will go away anyways. Size based on feeding not tank volume
