    That's because you are only using 1/4 of your screen area. Get 3 more LED setups like you have now, and completely cover the screen.

    That growth is what I expected to see, and I wanted to see your pics before assuming so. The LED floodlights are good for a coverage about equal to or slightly larger than their head print (the circular shape of the unit), and since they're 1W chips they don't have much spread so you only really get good growth right in front of them. So your only effective growth area is right there, but as you can see it's good growth.

    Still but the area that the algae is growing is at least the size of a 1 cube a day scrubber ands that is all im feeding. So it should keep up and its not

    Do you have a picture of the setup while its together and running, showing the lights and proximity and everything?

    Cyano in the display is not necessarily an indication that it's not working. Cyano outbreaks can happen after the scrubber gets running but will generally get beaten out over time (out competed) if the scrubber is strong enough.
