I'm going to send you a light from a SURF2x to try on one of the scrubbers, just in case the solution is as simple the amount of light.
You might recall you first got them going when it was left on 24 hours by mistake:

Yes I remember that. I am doing more water changes to try and bring the nitrates down. So far I am right around 12-16ppm.
I went ahead and cleaned the airtubes with vingear on the scrubbers last night. I also did a lite scrubbing with a tooth brush also. So if the scrubbers look lite on the next time I take a picture. That maybe why or maybe that will make the scrubbers fill in more. I just had a few spot with brown goo on them.
I just received the SURF 2X light. Do you still want me to run the lights at 20 hrs?
Yes, so that the only difference is the brighness.
The one on the left is the old lights. The one on the right is the new. I am noticing a little green slime happening on the tips of the string. Will that be something to brush off this Friday?
Not sure. Let's see how it goes.
Left old and right new light.
Can you stop the carbon dosing? That is known to slow down or stop scrubbers.
