LOL, whose that?
No, iron will not produce algae.
I noticed my skimmer produced more when it was almost time for the screen to be cleaned. Then less for a few days while the screen got full again.
My theory is that the scrubber would produce additional aminos and vitamins that the skimmer removed.
I cant compare pre and after ,because I added skimmer after scrubber. But there's what I noticed. :
Skimmer produces A LOT of foam. No matter how I adjust it - skimmate is always light color and almost no smell . Only its volume is changing. Foam head always looks clean - almost sterile. No yellow or brown tint that I can often see browsing pictures on the forums.
I added skimmer to help "scrubber braethe" and also having feeling that ATS is not removing "something" what should be removed. Possibly skimmer is to small, as I did not notice any difference over tank after skimmer addition.
IME my skimmer is producing a lighter color skim and less of it since adding an algae scrubber. I have the sca 301 skimmer, it is set up in the first compartment of sump and my scrubber is in the third compartment. I have also had to adjust my skimmer to nearly the max setting in order to get the amount of skim that i get.
