I also ordered one for my 150g FOWLR system that has been a constant headache at my business. After the screens are fully matured I may very well go skimmerless. I hope to plumb the first unit in tomorrow and the other should be here in about 2 weeks or so. What do ya'll think? Is it too obtrusive or distracting? The tank with one unit, the other will be on the opposite side. The SantaMonica100 Acrylic Algae Scrubber.Īnother shot of the whole unit with the lid on This is the first of two units I purchased. My plan is to run the unit off my returns on the top of the tank and then dumping straight from the unit into the display. I'm very impressed with both the design and the execution. This think is perfectly machined, clean looking and SOLID. My first observations are about the quality. And what I believe will prove to be my silver bullet against N and P. I've noticed a slow-down in the GHA inside the UAS and I can only assume it's because the tank is more stable now and found it's equilibrium with the UAS installed.I received my newest piece of equipment this week. By growing the algae in an optimal environment (UAS) and then harvesting the growth I'm removing whatever the algae is feeding on in the main tank and exporting the growth from the system. I didn't treat the tank or increase my water change regimen or anything. This all came about with NO changes other than the UAS. I now have zero GHA in this tank and only a small patch of receding Bryopsis in this tank and it's crystal clear. It's just a pain to come back to the office after hours to clean/maintain it. Because it's in my office it gets the least care/love of all my tanks I've ever owned. I was close to giving up on this tank and tearing it down (It's been up and running here in my office 5+ years now) because I could not get the GHA under control. I installed the Santa Monica UAS (HOG.5) on my work tank and the tank has never looked better. I've reefed for several years and I admit I was more than just a little skeptical about this whole ATS thing. After using one I don't plan to run another tank long-term without one.
