Not on here. I might take one tomorrow or something. But keep in mined I have changed a few thing since putting the two scrubbers on my tank.

If you look at the example growth sequence pics I posted, you can see the slime around the edges. It's gone now, replaced by green. That is one of the purposes of the strings... to reach up to the water surface which is closer to the light, thus getting the most light possible. Stuff on the bottom is expected to be darker because it's shaded by the top. And soon, it will be blacked out by the top, as the growth on the strings gets stronger.
This is what I have in my one of my scrubbers so far. Right now I have seen a drop in Hair algae but and increase in Cyano. Should I go ahead and clean the scrubber or should I still leave it the way it is for now?
Yep go ahead and get all the dark stuff out; you don't want anything shading the white surfaces.
Ok I just clean that scrubber and put the plug back in one of the drains as we'll. The second scrubber I also have one of the drains plugged and so far the strings seems to be getting some algae on it while a little bit is on the walls. Still growing pretty slow. But I expected that since I have one scrubber going right now. Both are still running the LED at 22/2.
So far this is what my scrubbers look like. Only one of them I had to clean. It looks like the hair algae is attached to the string. But growth seems slow now. Sad not I am getting more cyano on my sand and some over the hair algae that has be disappearing.
Natural progression, looks fine. Let them fill up now.
Should I remove the plugs now or just continue to keep them in until the scrubber fills in?
Remove.
It seems like I am getting more clear slime in my scrubber and some cyano. Instead of hair algae.
