    Nitrate at 32ppm and phosphate at 3.06ppm. So far it looks like my NO3 and PO4 are going up. I do have a water change I will be doing tomorrow. So those numbers should go down some.

    If phosphate really is 3, then that is a pretty good reason for the dark slime scrubber growth, which will have a hard time holding on to the surfaces. Although yours does seem to be holding on enough to get it out of the water.

    If your feeding input is less that your scrubber+other output, then eventually nutrients should come down.

    Old light

    I am starting to notice cyano in this unit and more algae growth on the LED lights.

    That would seem to say that they want more light.
