    Save me from Salt Creep

    Since I'm looking for ideas to solve a specific problem. I decided to split this off from the thread I started when I installed the ATS on my system. I've been running an L4 ATS from TurboAquatics for a while now. It does a good job of producing algae and helping keep the tank clean, overall I...

    Finally Joined the ATS Club

    I've been interested in using an ATS for quite a while. Probably since back when David Grigor posted all of the information he gathered after using an ATS for years. I just never got around to building or buying one. I picked up a Turbo Aquatics ATS a couple months ago and finally got it...

    algae turf scrubber vs. chaeto reactor

    Greetings, I am currently starting a 120 gallon (48x24x24) build. I already have 200 watts of LED lights and now I am working on the filtration. I am going to have a refugium filled with live rock rubble and either an ATS or Chaeto reactor. Which is better?

    Switching to LED ATS

    Hello, I just switched from a 4 light twist CFL with clip reflectors (2 on each side, on 18 hours a day) on my ATS to 2x13 LED (1 heat sink on each side 12 deep red and 1 royal blue). They are a few inches (3-4) from the screen. I'm wondering what is the best way to make the transition...

    Dosing with an ATS (algae turf scrubber)

    Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and live in the Maplewood area. This is my first post and I was just wondering about how to dose my tank to keep my nutrients normal with an ats so I can reduce my water changes to very little per month. I Just upgraded from a 75 gallon tank to a 180 gallon...

    Lowest cost and easiest way to eliminate green hair, bubble, turf and slime algae

    Lowest cost and easiest way to eliminate green hair, bubble, turf and slime algae from your aquarium (hopefully permanently). This new test version of the algae scrubber is much easier to build than the waterfall version (the Mega Powerful one), and is perfect for nano's. This new scrubber...

    Sump Build and Questions

    I'm planning a sump right now and I'm trying to decide which direction I want to take with it. I plan on 3 chambers, one where the water enters, a refugum with a DSB and a HOB filter, and the final chamber will be for the return pump. One of the questions I had was whether I should put the 3...
