Just wanted to post some pics of my Surf2 progress so far to see if anyone has any suggestions.
Some background first...
My tank system is 1 year old and consists of 125gal DT FOWLR setup, DSB fuge with a very small amount of chaeto
and sump with LR that used to hold a skimmer. Skimmer has been out for nine months. The bulk of the chaeto was taken out when Surf2 was installed.
Did not want them competing. There is no other filtration on my system. I feed a 1/2 a cube per day and a 2"x2" piece of nori twice a week.
I would like to increase the cube amount to 1 per day once the Surf2 gets going well.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 25
Ph 7.9
Phosphate .25
Temp 79F
The first pic is at 1 week old with the light on/off duration at 18/6. At this point I increased the light duration to 20/4.
Second pic is at 2 weeks (today). I will probably increase the lighting to 22/2. Any suggestions?

Week 1

Week 2
I plan to update this thread with pics and test results (as many have asked for) to chronicle the scrubbers effects on my system.
