My new Algae Turf Scrubber

[DAN_B]

So I order an ATS from a website in the USA, and it showed up yesterday.
I wanted to show off my new toy and post my tank's progress using this ATS.
I have been looking for away to control nutrients in my 210g reef tank. I have used GFO and bio pellets and Cheato, with varying degrees of success. One day I built a DYI scrubber using CFL's as a light source and was pleased with how it controlled the nutrients in my tank.
However my design had many flaws, so I looked for a professionally built scrubber.
I like the idea of a scrubber to control nutrients. I think they have less down side to them as compared to other set ups, and I believe that the ATS is more of natural way to remove excess nutrients and is more efficient.
Time will tell and I plan on tracking my tanks progress.
Feel free to follow along and comment on the way
Thanks

Looks good, only a little too small pic.
Could you post a link to where you got it?
Thanks

this is the website i got it from , i ordered the L3. he claims that with this scrubber that you can feed 3 cubes of frozen food a day and the scrubber will remove it.

Thats a very good looking piece of equipment. Well made
But pricy for sure.

You will have to take pics and show us the progression of algae growth.

I expect algae to grow on the screen fast as I'm using the screen from my DIY ATS
so this should translate into a clean tank
