    If the dark algae is not gone by now, it means your lights are not strong enough.

    A scrubber that big needs at least 150 real watts of light, and 200 watts is best. 2700 or 3000k "warm" or "soft".

    More flow is always better. Your lamps are small. If the growth is black, the filter is not strong enough.

    Make sure they stay on 18 hours per day.

    Pics of the inside of the scrubber would help.

    Red also means low light.
