    ok more turbulence is the goal!
    do you think the best way is air bubbles or a pump that can deliver aprox. 2000L/h???

    I don't think you can use bubbles because the growth will block them. So you need to raise the water coming in, so it drops farther.

    pictures

    the water flow comes from the black tubes and run through the bow filled with live rocks
    the light is on ½ throttle but as soon I get my fan woriking stronger light is on the way... more turbulence will be delivered by one more pumpe that pump water from the sump...

    The algae from this second cleaning is creener some small areas but dark og yellew slimy type... Ihope it will help with more flow and light???

    this Eperiementel ATS/refugium has been running since aprox 15. januar 2014...

    Most important will be bubbles/turbulence.

    this algae growth from 3 weeks.
    The algaes are more greenish in the bootom area of the rocks. thats strange could that be that the light is too strong? (20led, 3W but they are not in full power by the moment. The light is on about 18 hours per day)

    algae result: I see MORE green than last time. It is not the long algae more like it is in the rock and barely to remove...

    Now this is a month after...
    The picture that are darkest green is to show that the green algae is more where I have placed the small pump(100L/h). There are in general more algae growht but not as a lot that I hoped for!

    Im beginning to think I should get some canvas and replace the rocks with the normal "ATS" canvas... or should I let it grow...
