This is what they look like before I cleaned them.

This is what they look like when I cleaned them. I hope they are cleaned enough to grow algae.
Decided to protein skimmer back on. I was to see if it will help the scrubber algae right. Also, I will be tearing this tank down in a month to a month and a half. It's not permanent. Just deploying. I still want to see if this scrubber idea is the way to go for me.
Please Keep in mind this is not the only type of scrubber. Dont categorize them. Waterfall might have better results for you like it did for me.
trust me I have thought about making a waterfall type. but I just don't have the room for that kind a scrubber without causing a lot of bubble getting in the main tank. I am going to check the scrubbers friday and see how things are. So far my PH is slowing going up and the skimmer has calm down.
One of my units started doing like yours after I tripled the feeding; I just left it to grow, and after two weeks green was once again sprouting through the dark stuff.
Phosphate - .10
Nitrate -25
Nitrite - 0
Seems the right direction.
And this is what the scrubbers look like right now.
Also I want to note my tank as some short algae all over the rocks at the moment
