Thanks.

I have run one for over 16 months.

ATS for 120 Reef

that tank cracked and I housed everything in my personal tank with the scrubber on top

...and I am in the process of building models around LED fixtures. By the end of next month, I will have 3 large tanks running on LED based scrubbers. 2 of those have poor filtration right now and are overfed, N and P out of control and they will be benchmark test cases for the true power of the algae scrubber. One tank looks fine but N > 400, another is completely overrun with GHA and N > 500 (at least it was before I changed the lights and got the GHA bloom!!)
