It's fine; most new ones will get that. You can brush it off when harvesting later.
Ok good. Well I am glad this thing is on the right track. Also I got a noticed that my other scrubber is at the post office yesterday. So I will be trying to pick that up soon.
I feel like I need to turn down the lighting from 22/2 to 20/4 or maybe 18/6
No I think it's just time to clean. Take it to the sink this time.
Ok I just put it in the sink to clean it. I didn't have a tooth brush to clean it. Just kind a used my finger.
Tape up one of the drain holes. This will recirculate the water even more.
So blocking up one of the drains will help with growth in the scrubber?
It will keep water inside, which will allow the algae to bring the nutrients down to a level that more green can grow (green grows best in lower nutrients).
Ok I plug one of the drains on both scrubbers. I will report back on the progress.
