took a picture this morning -5.30 am!
The heart of the ATS ! I am directing the water flow off the ATS box via piping to main return pumps (6 o'clock position)that way the good stuffs get fed directly to my main tank,I am experimenting with green macro algae I pick up from the beach (11.00 o'clock) Planned to stuff them into the mesh ...seeding the ATS ..Yes I have a hugh sump! Live rocks.marco algaes, and my more aggressive fishes are housed here ,oh and 3 anemones too! with a aggressive tomato clown
Another picture taken early this morning! nicely illuminated...wont need a torch light to check on my tank/equipments now.ATS is sitting on a industrial strength plastic crate "TOYOGO' from a factory in Toa Payoh (for those here in Singapore) -I cut a side up to release space for fishes to move around in my sump.
Looks like some infernal reactor! :lol:
yes, I am trying to scare the neighbourhood... :lol:Originally Posted by kcress
so far it had been 4 days since I started the ATS , 16 hours photoperiod and as this is near my glass sliding door, I left the box uncovered so that it can catch the rays of the sun......
I have previously set up a plankton culture station, in March 2005...but stopped after a year.I still had 1 last plankton disk from Florida Farm.It was sitting in my fridge till yesterday morning, after so long in the fridge the jelly was completely dried up- I only had a thin film of the green harden algae on the plastic disc.....after scraping that residue off into the bottle fortified by miracle grow plant fertiliser, this is how it looks like after 1 day.....so I think it will be okay!

Neat. Tally ho!
I upgraded my Dymax 2000 pump to a ehiem compact 5000 on Sunday- that nearly filled up my ATS to the brim! so I had to cut 2 new outlets to release the load off the ATS.....I cleaned the ATS prior to restarting after the new cuts (smell of th ocean! as I had been feeding blended shellfishes to my stocks
