    2 weeks is nothing. Give it a month, then worry. You're off to a great start

    The color purple so deep can't see by human eyes just a little bit bright.

    Why change it? You need to give it time to grow. Just leave it as is

    its done yet! let we try this way and also I already scrubbed the screen clean.
    lets see after moving screen more closely to the light (5-7cm) and also I wanna see the effect of 410nm going.. if that led good (effect growth in the middle of the screen where the purple ligh focus) I would like to order more for my refugium tank too.

    thank's again... be back in 1 month.

    I would clean it now. The yellow gooey stuff can block light pretty well.

    Needs more flow. Also can add iron. Maybe less hours of light.

    I sounds like you have lowered the nutrients and now your screen is oversized compared to the amount you feed.

    Please answer the following:

    1) Tank size
    2) amount fed daily, on average
    3) what is in the tank (what fish, corals, etc)
    4) how many hours per day do you run the lights on the scrubber?
    5) what is the flow rate of water over the scrubber screen?

    Tank outdoor, 2 meters x 40cm x45cm.... no light for now( still building leds) but in a day sunlight trought it (roof is transparent material)
    3 Fish only with size M and S with various mushrooms.

    I am kinda start again cycling my tank again cause was a mesh before with hair algaes on all liverocks.
    thanks with my UAS and ATS, all algaes just stay on the scrubber screen by now.
    flow= I use 2000 lt/h with 24 hours of light.

    before all of these I've got hair algaes on UAS probably cause still hight PO4.
    but now UAS no algae attach again after I am using ATS so I unistall that UAS..

    now, only running ATS and macroalgae on refugium.
