Whenever I have slow-to-start growth like yours, I just let it sit, and it eventually starts up.

What my scrubbers look like now
Also good new. I won't be breaking down my tank. My girlfriend said she will take care of the tank while I am gone. So it looks like the scrubbers will have more time to mature.
I have a theory that excess silicates might be allowing diatoms to grow, and they don't attach well. Are you running GFO now?
No I am not running any filtration besides a skimmer and socks
Well some GFO might help to remove those silicates if indeed the theory is correct.
So I need to run GFO now?
Might be a good test.
So I haven't updated much. But I started run alcohol in my tank for about a month now and my hair algae is almost gone within my display tank. The scrubbers really never took off with algae at all. They will stay on the tank while I am deployed. But I think the algae scrubber wasn't right for my tank and setup.
Ok I just came back from my deployment. I am bumping this thread again because of the resolute from the scrubbers. I still have the vodka on the system to help curve nutrients. When has giving me the quickest and best resolute so far. Well after six month deployment. My gf has be maintaining my tank. Which means no water changes, feeding the fish once a day and cleaning the filters socks when needed and cleaning the protein skimmer when it's full. The scrubbers have had the lights on for 24hrs and never harvest since I was having problems in that department. Well this is the resolute of that.
