    Thoughts on this bulb

    http://1000bulbs.com/product/69958/TCP-LED9E26P2027KFL.html
    My screen is 4"x6". Would this work in replacing my CFLs?

    I cleaned the screen today for the second time. I got a lot more green coming in but still some browns and such.

    Santa, just want to thank you for the help. I've been fighting with these nitrates for quite some time. To see 5-10 ppm is great, can't wait til they are undetectable.

    Progress with the ATS

    The brown film algae that was killing my coraline algae has all but disappeared. I just tested NO3(Salifert). It has gone from 25ppm down to 5-10ppm! Woo Hoo!

    I cleaned my screen last week. This week I still have a lot of brown slime but a few little tufts of GHA. Should I start on my weekly cleaning routine or let it go another week?

    Day 14, To clean or not to clean?

    This is day 14 of my new scrubber. I have a bald spot on one side, I'll have to play with it a bit. I think I have to screen too far up in the slot. Should I clean it yet?

    Sizing question

    I'm new to the site and scrubbers. I'm in the process of building one. Are these the most current guidelines?

    My screen is 7"x10". I plan on feeding 2 cubes a day. How much lighting will I need?
