I built this ATS. Used a 20xh tank. Drilled the bottom to have it drain back in the sump. I taped off the area the light would be up against the glass and painted the tank silver first then black over that. Just trying to use as much light as possible. There are 2x 300w dimmable Mars Aqua grow lights. The screen fits into a slot in the pipe on top. Actually bought that portion on eBay. The screen or canvas is 12x18. What flow should this be seeing?

This is on a 135g display tank. Just set up 2weeks ago and going through its cycle right now.

I know this may be a little to big for this tank but I always go overboard on everything. I plan heavily stocking the tank and feeding real good. I also want to try and not worry about a skimmer too much on this tank
