So I finally got the scrubber that @Katepete722 suggested. The seller was very helpful and the ATS seems both well designed and well built. I like that it uses the natural flow from chambers 1 - 2. I had to sand it down in some spots to better fit my 2nd chamber. I also had to make a dang that sat on the wall between the first and second chamber to throttle the flow. With out it my third chamber filled too fast and my display tank level was too low. I also cut a piece of plastic that fit accrossed the 2nd chamber to help hold some filter floss in place. I bought an Acke 12 watt grow light that I attached to the back with some Velcro strips.
Love the esthetics of this!

Do you need might on both side of the screen ? I'm planning to just attach an outside light but not sure if I need another one that goes inside to light up the other side.
