All will chime in, is expected and certian colaboration is welcome. Since many were in on the pretesting. But I(good for newbies as well) want guidelines like in WFATS.
Okay. I'm liking Rudybops design. Thinking of doing it. I see where you mentioned fitting 140 watts on his 14x16 inch screen lit on one side.
So is 1.5 watts(CFL) per square inch the going wattage for one sided UAS no matter how big?
What if it's double sided?
How big a screen if one sided since it's the easiest to set up?
Are the UAS and WFATS screen size the same based on cubes per day?
Have you concluded that UAS is better at filtering than WFATS?
Are larger or fine bubbles better or no difference?
If LED. What's the current best layout and wattage?
Have I covered the basics?
I saw some neat looking clear cylinders I thought I could slide a reflector(beer/soda can style) in and drop a CFL into and have it inside the sump to light other side. Could leave top open since it will extend out of water to vent heat. Just an idea.
