Figured I should give an update. I fear that I am no longer surf2 only filtration, I have added a fuge light and chaeto with gfo. Like I said before I started this on a rebuilt system with aquavita...
Getting better growth now?
Well international travel is sure more interesting than a CPR repurposed skimmer!
Could the scrubber be phosphate limited?
Any update? I like the idea.
Haha, I would hope that by now in this hobby I could tell the difference between a sponge and algae! I have been dosing phyto for some small clams and that has spurred the algae growth a bit.
Not good pic, but it's right smack in the middle. The dark stuff. I doubt it's P coming out of the rock. It is ceramic vitarock and was put in at the same time as the scrubber, when the tank was 1st...

Horrible pic. It's short and clumpy but soft. There isn't tons, but it's spreading.

Harvest from today. Sad I am getting more and more algae in the display.

My 1st true harvest. I pull a little out each week, but nothing photo worthy till now.
I was still doing 18/6. Any reason to try 20/4?

I saw that user name and knew some crazy LED setup would have to be in there!

Here is mine, just updated it.
I have a non scrubber biocube loaded with SPS that is almost always at 0.00ppm PO4 (hanna colorimeter keeping in mind there is 0.04ppm accuracy range) and 0-2ppm NO3 (salifert), I just have to feed...
Update:
The growth is much better. The box isn't full of algae and not tons of growth on the strings, but I have only a 65 I am running it on and only feed about two pinches of flakes a day. I am...

How does it look?
Thanks for the help on lighting! No idea changing to 18/6 would make such a huge difference. Still have the extra flow hooked up but in past couple days the strings have quite a lot of growth on...
Your right, I should have started a different topic, my apologies. I initially just wanted to say you might be on to something with your concern about volume and what I am attempting to do with mine...
Not really much to show. The green is bits of chaeto as I removed the ball for the photo and didn't want to wash every little bit out. The green grabber is bright white still and the rope has just...
I have been using a 4hr on 1 hr off (ok 3.8 hr on) in 5 cycles a day for around 19 hours per day on. Think I should change to one long period for 22 hr a day? I kinda like the flow modification, it...
I have had my surf 2 almost a month. I have noticed very slow growth, two weeks ago I put in a hair algae mat and some chaeto from my other tank and the algae has done well but the growth on the...
