Well after having really good results with the HOG1 in my peacock mantis tank I got one of the initial batches of the surf2 which showed up Monday and was immediately hooked up and is being driven off a danner ap8 air pump which does up to 549 cu/in per minute. So far it has actually caused negative affects as my apartment doesn't have windows I can easily open and the air is rich in co2 to the point I hooked up a co2 scrubber to my skimmer. Since this is a second source though it's just dumping in co2 from the air at a second source and causing my ph to plummet by .3 so far in this initial week. Now as algae colonizes it I expect some to be absorbed but will it be able to offset the co2 being added to the system once it gets established or will I need to setup a scrubber for the air line for the turf scrubber? Now my second question is has anyone else notice it take longer to get started than other scrubber systems? I started it scraping some hair algae on the screen Monday and have run the lights 18 hours a day since then and it is still completely white. The tank is really high nutrients as I added a new cbb a few weeks ago and been kinda overfeeding short term while he gets settled to make sure the tangs in my reef don't bully him away from dinner so I've had excessive hair algae growth the past few weeks which seems odd the scrubber would still be completely white after 6 days.
