Yeah man. One drain empties into the skimmer section, then second one has the ATS. I had an old 700 gph pump laying around and replaced my 500 gph return pump with it to increase the flow. I haven't measured the actual flow rate off that drain, but it "looks" to be flowing fine and grows algae really well.
I'm using a Phillips LED 100w equivalent bulb that has worked fine. Its rated as "daylight" so its probably around 6500K. I haven't found one with lower Kelvin that is equivalent to 100w. I only have one side of the ATS lit up, I don't have room to add another light.
I should probably order one of those Par38 LED bulbs with red and blues.
