Who sells the best ATS? Looking to buy something rather than build.
 
I have a couple drop2 that work good, first one I bought which is over a year old the door wouldn't stay shut. Following along to hear some others users.
 
I just ordered one of these bad boys from 302 Aquatics. I've been following them on facebook for a while and they seem to be just what the doctor ordered. 12x20", 2 LED lights on each side. Set me back about $300.

This is a no brainer, imo. Go with Turbo Aquatics waterfall ATS. I have had one for 6 months and it's been great. Bud also has the best service out there to match his top of the line ATS.

How is it working and what size tank and sump are you running this on ?
 
I live in Aus so getting one shipped here would cost way too much but if I had the money to buy a scrubber instead of build one it would be a turbo rev4 without hesitation.

Also I have found that 302 aquatics recommend some weird screen sizes. They don't believe in screens being sized to roughly match feeding amount so I have seen some screens that are way too big for some tanks and other tanks they recommend screens that seem too small. Sides to stop light bleed are also an add on. Combined with the fact that the high and low drains are plumbed together they are asking for a flood if the drain pipe blocks after the pipes join.
 
Price point, build quality and customer service IMO hands down goes to 302 aquatics. Ive got a unit with custom stand for my sump and the pump all for 225.00
 
Tony B I am going to get one after the new year. Can you post updates ? Pictures and videos ?

I was thinking about turbo great looking unit but to expensive for me.

My buddy has 2 302 units and the growth is amazing. For some reason photo bucket isnt working for my to post his growth pics.
 
The very best? Turbo aquatics hands down. The 302 look nice and I follow them, but the absolute best I don't think it's even close.

The owner of turbos, Mr Turbo ;), is in my town and we are part of the same reef club. He is always making improvements and works with customers and many times sends little upgrades.
