Slow Growth

[itzrulez]

what can i do to speed the process of growing?
i need to add something?
i want my algae to grow faster....
i set up my tank with anything,just water,salt,ph is ok too, but i dont add any kind of life..
my scrubber is already set,and running...
whats the maximum time for growth,since i started the tank from none life?

The purpose of a scrubber is to remove nutrients, not to just grow for fun. If you are not feeding the tank, it is not going to grow.

soo i put fish food?
that was my doubt!

[SantaMonica]

If you have fish, of course. Do you have fish?

If you have nothing, you get nothing. And when you do put livestock into the tank and feed, don't concentrate too much on how the algae looks/grows, concentrate on the ammonia/phosphate/nitrate/nitrite readings it generates. And be sure if it is slick/dark/oily to remove it every 3 days until it starts to grow green.

and if i dont have any kind of life in my tank?
how should i proceed?

you can feed some fish food to your empty tank or you can just get your first fish!
