The trademark is from the inventor of the dump-bucket ATS design in 1982. "ATS" is his trademark, and is not related to me, or waterfall scrubbers.

 

I suppose you could disregard the new versions and drawings, and just design your own. Been designing them for 8 months now, and there are over 10 different functionalities, and over 30 different versions, so it might be quicker to try these free designs first. Especially for nano's.

You might like the new designs then. Easiest to build yet; much easier than current ones. As for people buying them, however, I'd say 9 out of 10 people who go into a LFS are looking to buy a filter, not build one.

So what's going on...you're going to give away some drawings of your new design/designs and then charge folk a $5 (DIY) licensing fee to build them and or build them and sell them for you?  

 

If I build some can I call them green magic?  Or are you dead set on SM?

The Green Magic scrubber... I like it  :)

 

Actually the DIY licenses are free. Unless you want to build a lot of them, maybe to re-sell. Then they're $5. But I think most people just want to make a simple filter for themselves. And the new designs are really, really simple. You already have all the parts.

New scrubber update: The new design will not require a slot in the pipe. If you have not built one yet, and you have trouble with DIY, then you might wait for the new DIY plans to be posted; there should be no hard-to-cut pieces (like a slot), at least for the very simple versions.

Patience, gotta get through the several months worth of spamming first :)

All of the new sizing guidelines are already available. Scrubbers now are being built according to feeding requiements as apposed to tank size. Which would indicate that people have been building vastly over sized scrubbers for the last few years.

Yes the new sizes are posted, but he is asking about the new designs, which are not posted yet. The new designs are mostly space-savers, and cost-savers, and are great for nano's. No sump required, and no slot-cutting needed. You already have all the stuff you need to build it. Here is a posting schedule:

Need translator for Availability Schedule...
http://algaescrubber.net/forums/showthread.php?1783-Availability-Schedule

I have Chinese finished, but I need other languages too. So if you or someone you know can translate that page into another language and email it to me on a Word 2000 document, let me know how much $ it would cost.

Thanks!
