My first weeks growth. Nice and even coverage, running @12 hrs. at the 7 o'clock position.
Some week 2 pics, algae is really starting to take off. Photoperiod is 14 Hrs. @ 7 o'clock position.
Just pulled another 3oz of algae this weekend. ATS is really pulling it out now...My 3rd weeks growth, 2.5oz of algae. Amazing!
Steady @2.5~3oz of algae per week being pulled with ATS. Going to bump up photo period, 18 hrs., and light strength, 10 o'clock, to see if I can pull more out. I have a heavy bio-load.
I'm blind in one eye and can't see out the other
Thx Bud
Wanted to give a little update, still pulling @5~6oz of algae every 7-10 days and more with each cleaning. Skimmer is pulling less and less. Another item is my husbandry, cleaning of DT algae, has remarkably improved. it's been a major issue for me with my bio-load. There is less and less algae in my DT so it is starting to kick into it's intended purpose.
Is the metal temporary? It took me a sec to realize your tank is big...at first glance, I thought that was an L2, but it's an L8!!!
I started looking at the 8020 last week. I haven't look to see if they have depth I need to match up to my setup already.Looks like stainless unistrut from the photo.
You might want to think about 8020 extrusion, you can buy it powder coated black and it will likely hold up better than the unistrut, which, I think, is 304 stainless, which even powder coated, will only stain slightly less.
With your application, 10 series should be more than adequate.
