    Nice progress! Thanks for posting the photos of your build. I may try to tackle something like this down the road with my LED's.

    I have better growth with Blue led's added to my scrubbers. I bet you would have a lot more growth and more nutrient export if you cut your screen size down a lot.

    Interesting. I have less growth where I have the blue led 440nm. See the brownish area (lower middle) at my net. But maybe its to close so it burns the algae?
    I´m superpleased with the growth I have, but i think i could have managed with a smaller box and smaller net but I´m not gonna build another ATS for a few years i think :-)

    My no3 have gone from 25 - 7,5 in 7 weeks and in the same time I have doubled my feeding.

    Its amazing what the scrubber will do, that for sure!! I have a 6x6 screen waterfall with 4 Reds and 2 blues on each side. Before I had all red but the addition of the blue to one side for a few months convinced me that the 4 red/2 blue side grew almost twice the algae as the 6 red side did.

    Nope!

    Sorry I've missed your comment.
    No it is not dead silent.
    My ATS is almost 40 cm high so there is some dripping sound.
