Hi guys.. Im getting an L2 (excited!) In the next week or two. I know its gonna take a few days or weeks to get it working propperly. So I ordered a hog .5. My thinking is that i will get the uas growing really good so it carries me through the change.

After that imma keep it running and clean alternate the cleaning so im algays growing algae.

Does this make sence?.. i would have to feed 2.5 cubes right?

You can try it. Cleaning the waterfall the HOG 3-4 days later would do it

I don't know what the yellow algae on the screen is .. but its filtering the heck out of P.

My Phosphate test with Hanna today: 0.01. they have never been so low.

I have noticed this a few times now, where the growth is nothing to shout about but Phos appears to be consumed. I thought it was something to do with brown screens ( as upto now they are the ones that reduce P fastest ), but obviously your yellow one does it also. Fascinating stuff, scrubbers.

Just curious - what lighting and spectrum you got on it ?

I have two 40 real watts 2700k fluorescent. Run them 10 hrs a day.
Green algae did take care of p.. but not as fast as this stuff.
