No waste.
It's basically a closed loop with light turning the cycle over. 1200W MH over the reef for 18hrs and 600W LED over the scrubber.
Yes. The black algae stopped once I stopped external feeding.
I was surprised when the fish didn't die from negligence. To be honest, I had little choice with my work schedule and my wife's vociferous hatred of the tank. I expected the mandarin to go first followed by the trigger eating all the shrimp and then the damsels before dying. They all made it.

Karim,
the big black container is more like a fuge than an ATS but you are harvesting GHA instead of Chaeto or other algae, isnīt it?
have you tested your N and P? do they show in test kits now?
you have such amaizing colors in your sps. can I know your alk and other parameters??
