Algae Scrubber / Turf Scrubber

[liquid]

What kind of ATS did you setup? An Eco-Wheel, EZTank.com ATS, or one of Adey's Dump Bucket ATS'? It would be cool to see some pics of your setup.

FWIW, here's a number of good ATS threads that have taken place over at ReefCentral on the ATS topic:

I rarely see any sort of ATS threads over here for some reason...

FWIW, the turf algae that you want for your ATS will naturally grow on your screen eventually. It may take 1-2 weeks but it'll eventually grow and thrive. If you do want a starter culture for your screen, probably the best place to get some would be Inland Aquatics: http://www.inlandaquatics.com/

Anyone out there useing an algae scrubber? I recently set mine up, about a month ago, and wanted to finds out how it was going for other people who have one set up. Maybe see if you would sent me a clump of algae from you scrubber next time you harvest, if you are just going to throw it out.


Thanks
