    New ats scrubber build 90g tank 20g fuge

    Hi all I am new to the ats world. I have been running my diy ats for a 2 months now and don't known if it is working 100% or if I could be doing it better. So I am running my 90g tank off of a mag 5 I believe. 700gph. My ats is running off of my tanks return line so the flow through the ats should be around 500-600gph with head pressure taken into acount. I have 2 different led lights running on the ats. But my alage does not look like the videos I have seen in the past. It is green but it looks like it has bubbles like bacteria. I will try to add pics and links to the lights I have .

    Thanks in advance,

    Kiss reef

    I have two of this lights on one side about 3 inches away. Does anyone have any input on this lighting for an ats setup?

    Growth is good.

    Those lights are 9 watts, so two on each side seems a minimum.

    Is 12 watts each, but is focused so you will need to keep it farther away.

    Here are others:

    I have three of the Expression, LTD led lights on a 5"x14" 1-sided screen ATS. My ATS is a hybrid waterfall unit sitting at a 45 degree slope. I harvest 100-120 grams of wet algae weekly. The lights are great.
