[quote=reefwars;698637]an ats is a algae turf scrubber and its basically a place to grow hair algae and it will in turn feed on your nitrates, the hair algae is removed weekly and as are the nitrates it has. [\QUOTE]

Thanks Denny!! I'm on it!!! Finally had time to check out these links... this sounds perfect... and cheap!! I still want to run the fuge for pods though.... I'll put the whole thing together... with my 7 or 8 clams.... and see what does the best. Back when I was doing tank maintenance, I remember seeing a fuge in a house that was chalk full of macro algae, and there were TONS of brine(????) shrimp living in there. Pretty cool.
