    First thing to check, of course, is to watch the lights actually go out when they are supposed to.

    They do. I actually did see that. I purposely alternated there off cycle. That way the tank has a 24/7 scrub kind a thing. Ex: scrubber 1 is on from 12:00pm to 10:00am. While scrubber 2 is on from 14:00 to 12:00 both with 2hrs off cycle.

    Ok then set the timer to 18 hours instead of 22. Cover the lights half way, and let run a week.

    It's been awhile since I had to cover up my lights. But what are you recommending to use to cover the lights? Panty-hoes still?

    Ok back at it again. This one week with the LED's covered and reduced lighting duration.

    Ok looks like a good start. Remove the shirt, but keep at 18 hours for another 10 days.

    It's certainly filling in, although I'd like to see it much faster. You could do 20 hours now.
