I have been playing round with ATS's for a couple of years now and have owned a Santa Monica HOG2 and a Surf 2 (I still have that one) plus I have made 2 DIY waterfall scrubbers. All the results have been positive with each having their good and not so good points (note I do not sat bad) I often look on the bay to see what's new and stumbled up an interesting new waterfall ATS at a good price. However the sellers description left much to be desired so I sent him a number of questions and he replied to them all, later we even had a phone chat. The upshot is I have ordered one from him which should be with me in the next week or two. A few people have questioned if the LED lights are powerful enough. The guy making them assured me they are plus I know the new style design of cylindrical ATS use quite low powered flexi LED's with good results. Well the truth of the pudding etc etc so we will see. Here are a few pic's and the spec.
