I have a 5 month old 20 G reef,the tank is stocked with nearly 20-25 lbs of DIY LR seeded with 3lbs of LR.
The tank is barebottom with no other filtration then a 17" L x 4" W just-over-the-surface-in-tank hang on single sided scrubber.I used Velcro as screen.The scrubber is lighted by 2 x 20 W Daylight CFLs.The scrubber is running for 2 months,there wasn't much growth for first month as there wasn't any bioload.After adding my first fish (a 1.5" regal damsel) the scrubber is growing some good nice green algae.But the tank is covered by brown algae.I feed once daily.The only corals are some three colonies of zoa.The tank has total 2400 L/Hr of flow.
