How much would you rate this ATS ?

I'm thinking about buying this Algae Turf Scrubber :

How much would you rate this in terms of frozen cubes per day ?
I saw in the item description it said that it's dimensions are 200mm x 200mm x 150mm

Thanks a lot

I'm guessing somewhere around 2.5 cubes maybe less based on the 30 sq inches of surface area. However I'm not liking that spray bar design looks inefficient and would be a pain when it clogs. I would spend more money on a better model such as Turbo or SM.

Well i figured i could paint the clear tubing, reducing chances for build-up and clogging... but you could always just stick a pointy thing in the holes (like a pen, but not a pen) and it unclogs it in a sec...

I just really like how easy it is to remove the sheets and clean them... also there are 2 so its easy to just clean 1 at a time...

Also keep in mind, I live outside the US and most of those "super-niche" products never have international shipping, or it ends up costing more than the product itself.

I can build one fairly easy on my own (pretty good at DIY) but with my calculations building one will probably cost me the same as the one in the link i provided...

But if you guys think it's poor-quality, i'll just put the money into making one...

Thanks!
