Algae Turf Scrubber Alternate

[dreamcatcherr9]

Cool! The inlet is where I have the quick disconnect (at the union, yes). I didn’t want to have to fight to disconnect at the union when servicing, hence the quick disconnect.

The drains (primary and emergency) I hard plumbed (but I could have soft plumbed too). I didn’t glue those parts, in case I changed my mind, no leaks even with no gluing, holds pretty tight.

The hardest part was finding a place for it to sit. I got it sitting on top of my sump. Took away from my esthetics, but what I get out of it is well worth it!!

Very good! Yours looks great. That sump is awesome but agreed the functionality is probably well worth it to sit there. :)

Thanks again for the heads up on this company and the info in here. Can't wait to get mine up and running.

nice! I am a huge ATS fan. good to know there is another player in the game.

FYI turbo Rev. 5 is out and he is taking pre orders I am on the list. he was making PPEs so production stopped for a while but I believe he's back at it.
not sure when I will get mine hopping some time in nov. as i want to start the tank with it and under skim.

there are a few features in his ATS that I was willing to pay for. yeah it was around $150 more but I think I am gonna love it. most excited piece of equipment on the new tank..haha

anyway keep us posted its nice to see beautiful scrubbed tanks!

Looks great! Is your sump the 48 or 60? My system is a 240DT, Bashsea-SS-60, RO Regal 250INT. Ready to pull the trigger on one, just doing my research. Would be very happy if it fit as well as yours does.

It’s assume! My sump is the SS60, and I have regal skimmer too!!! The ATS is amazing! I must admit I need to clean it weekly. I negotiated 1 week and it was overrun! Highly recommended this brand / model.

Thank you! You've convinced me. I'll order mine this coming week. It's almost like looking in a mirror when I see your setup! You have great taste!

I have 6 tangs, 3 are +5" plus a big Foxface. I'm always chasing nutrients. Time to try this route.

My 125 from algae guyz is pulling a good amount out. Its a great and affordable alternative to some of the bigger names.

how's your ATS going guys?

 

[dreamcatcherr9]

Mine is still crazy impressive. I just need to clean it more often. Cant get mad at it for doing its job!

I’m in the market and found his thread. Was trying to decide on a plumbed (CW) or bubble (SantaMonica). But I like supporting companies like Aquatic Guyz.

Presumably those of you that have them on this thread are still digging them?

 

[dreamcatcherr9]

Still running great. Again, beyond my expectations. It was my first (though I bought a Santa Monica, that experience was a joke and to long to discuss now).

I was shocked at the price difference for the same functionality. Great product from a apparently little known company.

Dream catcher has had a good xp. Mine sprays water out onto the floor that I've stopped using it several months ago. Fed it with a 300ish gph pump. Mild algae clogging the slotted pvc pipe caused a nice high velocity jet to shoot out onto the floor outside the stand. Im on the waitlist for a turbo scrubber. Will likely put mine up for sale when that time comes. Someone better with diy can maybe modify it to prevent spray.
