Just wanna show you guys the growth on my Waterfall Algae Scrubber. The scrubber has been up and running 8 weeks ago and finally is starting to gert some impressive growth. I just cleaned one side of the screen.

Using LEDs on both sides if the screen. I'm using those UFOs LEDs 50W each.

Looks really good for a new one. A bit dark though; nutrients must be really high. Should lighten up soon.

Thanks Santa Monica. Yeah, I guess the algae its a bit dark for now. I have this scrubber on one of my breeding setups where the nutrients are sky high. They are starting to come down though. I have the lights on for 12 hours for now.

More hours would really help.

Would you say 16 be ok?

Up to 22.
