Hello all

I have intalled the scruber for 2 months but the algue i get out of it is a very black thing i dont know the name is that ok i aslitt have algur at the over flow box lots of it any idea thanks for your help

[SantaMonica]

If the dark algae is not gone by now, it means your lights are not strong enough.

A scrubber that big needs at least 150 real watts of light, and 200 watts is best. 2700 or 3000k "warm" or "soft".

Can it be water Flow is a little low too??? .

I have 4 T5 30watts 3000k usuing a reflective lamp

one more thing is black Bad???? or just not working???

[SantaMonica]

More flow is always better. Your lamps are small. If the growth is black, the filter is not strong enough.

Make sure they stay on 18 hours per day.

Pics of the inside of the scrubber would help.

Red also means low light.
