Ongoing scrubber issues

It will stop itself at the surface.

What to do when that happens?

I just pruned it. Now both pieces are growing nicely. Surprisingly broken lower part regrowed like it never been cut just shorter now

Kerry is that screen nice green ?

My screen is a medium green color, its not bright popping green. It gets pretty good growth in two weeks.

Well, after no luck with the 23 watt bulbs, I switched back to the 13 watt cfl spotlights per the guideline. This time, however, I stepped up my game once again.



I made a false bottom in my sump using a clipboard with a hole in it for water to pass through. Then, I covered it in foil. I created this box using to-go food lids that have a foil, mirror-like finish on the inside I own a restaurant...

Here are my 10 day results:



What do you all think? Should I let it go 4 more days or clean now?

[SantaMonica]

Few more days.

And how should I clean this screen? I usually use a butter knife and scrape it down to the screen. Is this a good practice?

[Garf]

I use an old credit card to scrape the screen, but I suppose a butter knife wouldn't do any harm. Try to leave it 14 days between cleanings, the last couple of days the growth is bonkers.

[SantaMonica]

I use a toothbrush for the UAS, and a hacksaw + wire brush for the waterfall.

Plastic pot scraper or acrylic scraper blade

Ok good ideas all around. So, just scrape down to the screen and leave the holes filled in? Or should I only be cleaning by rubbing fingers over this still?
