    That's confused me. I thought it was the tank he wanted filtering. So growing algae on rubbish water is no good, it's gotta be clean to grow?

    GHA grows best in lower nutrient water.

    Here is a picture so far and it looks like I am getting more slim since I plugged one of the holes.

    Yes but it's the growth at the surface, not the bottom, that matters. And the surface (on the rock) is much thicker. The growth is attaching to the rocks more, just like they attach at the beach. So it's going good.

    So I don't know if you answered my question. What's up with the clear slime in the scrubber? Because right now it looks like it's turning black where the air flowing through.

    It's a bit sad when folks have spent $300 on summit that don't work

    I'm new but I thought the aim was to grow green algae, not slime. Perhaps it's got it's benefits though

    Every system is different and I am pretty sure my system has a lot to pull out.
