Hey Mike;
Hope you are doing better.
I've been using an ATS on my temporary setup. It's been working great. I am planning on having several ATS's on the new setup. I should be installing the new ATS this weekend on the new setup. I am going to leave the lights off on both tanks during the initial cycling. My hope is that the ATS will grow the algae vs the rocks in the tanks. If not, I plan on getting a couple of sea hares. Those guys can eat through algae like there is no tomorrow. When the current ATS on the temporary setup starting growing algae, the algae in the tanks started to disappear pretty quickly. I did have a stubborn algae a Caulerpa verticillata species that was not going away. I put in a couple of sea hares and those guys ate it faster than it could grow back. Now I have a few tangs and they seem to be doing a good job at keeping the rock clean. I returned the sea hares.
