U ask for led lighting for the scrubber? What did dr evil advice regarding using led instead of t5s?

[shaohui75]

Dr Evil say he does not do LED, only T5. Actually i prefer LED due to lower heat & power consumption. I am not so sure how the 1W or 3W LED will perform. But i guess, since it can be use for coral nowadays, algae shouldnt be a problem.

scrubber does not use white light. You may need to hunt for warm white led. Lol

How many days of growth is that? What kind of growth?

I just use a pump to pump water into the compartment where it will overflow like a waterfall. The screen is clip on to the side and is easy to remove for cleaning. Works very well and not necessary for bulky fixtures.

I will suggest you do a taller/longer screen than a wider one. This is because a wide ATS requires a much bigger pump to create the necessary flow for an ATS to function properly. Do read up more and you will know what i am talking about.

My tank supported by the ATS and a NAC3.5 BM skimmer. Feeding 8 cubes of Mysis everyday. Cyclopeeze on alternate days. Rotifier and oyster eggs every alternate days.

Water change 2 big pails every week.

Thanks for all the pictures and respond here, you guys inspire me to go ahead with LED. I intend to get 4 of this LED light bulb and install it on top of the return of the overflow
