ATS external hang-on

[leeit2me]

Here is my project of a ATS that hangs on side of my stand. It's a water fall type ATS.

Using 6 red and 2 blue LED's for the lighting. Led's are on both side of the scrubber.
Screen size is 5 by 10 inches.

Using my GFO reactor pump which is tee off to the ATS. I feel it's kind of weak for the flow to the ATS. Will come up with another way to feed it, but for now it will help the break in period. Enjoy the pics.

just want to update this post, since it's been up and running for awhile now. This scrubber has been kicking butt with growing algae. Here are some photo's of the end product.






Anyone up for some algae salad?? :dead1:

great build!

what are your water parameters like? any algae in the display tank?

 

[leeit2me]

thank you!

Brick-brothers:
I have spent about 50bucks in material. (still have acrylic left over). Some items like pvc pipes and bulkheads I have already.

5thChorseman:
Actually I haven't tested my water over a year...... But, my tank did crash when my doser OD cal/alk/vinger all the same time. but now it's slowly coming back. I sure don't have any green hair algae in my display tank.

Whats the mesh count on the Plastic Canvas? I see that they have different counts.

 

[leeit2me]

I don't know mesh count they are, brought them at Michael's. Whatever they had, which was 12x18 sheets or packs.
