Well I have three things going on with my tank now that could be slowing the scrubbers down at the moment. Water changes, carbon reactor, and protein skimmer.

None of those should affect it. But something is indeed in the water, and coming from somewhere.
What are you feeding?
Right now mysis, nori, tetra veggie flakes, and Neptune crossover pellets. All are not feed all at once. Generally three of any combo
I forgot about my overflows. They have been acting as scrubber since I had the tank. Takes them awhile to grow. But I do pull some good portions of algae from there.
Just pull these this morning after my water chance. Mind you I have two overflows.
More reason to just let the scrubbers run without cleaning, like the overflows do, and like when you were gone.
Well I am going to put a cover on the overflows to block the light. You think the overflows causing the scrubbers to act slower?
No, but the fact that they had forever to develop there, in lower light, could be a clue. Especially since the stronger scrubber light did not help.
Might be a good time to try dosing iron, such as Kent's Iron+Manganese.
I have magnesium. Will that help?
