    These are very underpowered for an ATS

    If this is the lamp you are referring to:

    http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-605020.../dp/B002NGKITW

    These are very low-power LEDs, in fact, the whole lamp only uses 2 watts. You can buy a single 3W LED on a star PCB for $3 (at least you can in the US). You want something more like this:

    2 of those will be enough or is there another better lamp without being way too expensive

    one of these on each side of a 6x6 screen (maximum size) would probably work well.

    Let's start out with some questions here:

    How big is your tank
    What fish are in it (rough list)
    How much do you feed
    What size scrubber (length x height) were you planning

    Then we can go from there. Need more info to help you properly!

    So your auto feeder, what type (assuming pellets) and how much does each feeding consist of? For each "1" (assuming that a "2" is a double feeding on the timer)
