Hey guys, I have another question! I currently have the Icecap ATS and it grows algae like a champ. Used to be kinda of mushy slimy algae but now it’s more of a vibrant stringy green algae. Almost a chaeto feel to it. My problem is I have to have it sitting in my sump and it’s a bit of a PITA to service. I use a 75 gallon tank as a sump and I’m going to redo my baffles. I’m wondering if I should take this opportunity to add in a decent size fuge (18”x16”x16”) and scrap the ATS or would I be hard pressed to beat the performance of an ATS with a fuge and does the fuge open a new can of worms in terms of maintenance issues or headaches? Thanks for any input especially if you’ve tried both!
