Try 1 inch closer (2 or 3 cm).
i had to take everything out of the tank, becouse i tougth the tank was leaking, the living rock was in bukets for a week before i got the tank up again.
so i gess i will get a ny cycle?, i filed up the aquarium with new saltwater.
how will that efeckt the scrubber?
the fish and corals are in a other aquarium.
Scrubber will be fine.
Hope that the rock did not die too much.
When I have to drop my tank, I put eveything in a large plastic tub. I then drop a pump in the tub, attach to some pipe and and create a spraybar to circulate the water. I put rock, snails, fish anything I can find live into the tub. On one of the returns I attached the AS screen. light it up. and I am good to go. Longest time l had everything is a tub was 10 days. did not loose a thing. Mr scrubber actually worked better on my temp tank (tub), then it does on my reg tank.

That's because taking everything out changes the flow patterns and you have a big bacteria die-off, or mini-cycle, which may or may not be visible, but causes the scrubber to get huge growth. I saw the same thing when moving systems.
it looks to be hard to take the light closer, the light is in a plastick glass to protekt it from water, the cup is scrued to the back of the boks.
i have reflecktor tape inside the box, it isint the best reflector i think, shoud i find somthing better?
im also switching to a black box, will that help some?
Will have to see how it all looks.
here some pitcures
Well it looks much better than your first one :)
I think you could remove the glass around the bulbs, if you put a splash-shield over the pipe. Also you could put reflector material on the lid too. And you could probably use 33 watt bulbs.
But overall I think it will do a good job. Let it grow 14 days.
this is 8 days growt, why is the green algea only growing in patches?
is this good growt now?
i aint feeding so mutch at the time
