Sorry was unclear, yes I meant it is turning brown because of lower phosphates in the system. Somehow in my mind a good functioning ats yields...
imho an ATS is one of those things that makes a lot of sense, but doesn't make a lot of money. People will buy it once and that is it. No money...
what I have done is design a pvc pipe with two end caps so that it rests on the inner lip of my 20 long sump. I mounted it to side (if you can...
oh thanks so brownish is lowering phosphates, no coincidence my hanna ULR checker has been reading ZERO and I keep trying and trying thinking it...
Hello again, I changed my algae scrubber position slightly and reduced its size (using same lights). However, its been like few weeks and algae is...
thanks, no curvature as the screen fits into the slot exactly but somehow bending, like if you think of it closer to one edge of the slot than the...

One more question about the pump - does it have a 1/2" ID outlet for my flex tubing? was just researching the pump and i just feel it could be too...
Turbo - this is the pump you are talking about, right? Amazon.com : Taam Rio Plus 1100 Aqua Pump and Powerhead - 382 GPH : Aquarium Water Pumps :...

thanks Turbo, yesterday i added a diffuser for the 2 lights (foam they use to package electronics like pc screens), it is still letting light...
Turbo - any thoughts or questions on setup? dont know if you can make anything out of the pics though
