Hey !
I am currently in the middle of rebuilding my 20 Nuvo I had broken down a while ago due to bryopsis!
I currently have all my corals and my pair of clowns in a 10G breeder which will be converted into a Coral QT once by build is done.
I have been using this time to really dig deep into what can cause problems in a tank in terms of nuisance algae.
for the the first few months my 10G breeder was up, I had bryopsis and bubble algae growing on frags. Ever since, I began to really keep a weekly testing regimen and brushing coral skeleton when needed and I have not seen a sight of any bryopsis or algae. I believe one of the biggest contributors has to be nutrient control.
THE QUESTION IS, I am looking for an ATS for my future build. I am going AIO so no actual sump is available. Would you guys go DIY on the ATS , or is their a brand you guys have a experience with that is easy to install, use, and efficient that does not break the bank ?
if DIY, how would you go about making one that is not very uncomfortable for a nano?
