    That's better but you should get all the dark stuff off so you can see the white of the screen.

    On the longest-running tank, scrubber only. But the hammers and frogspawns did not like that tank - or any other scrubber-only tank, really. Not sure why. Haven't had time to figure it out either.

    I am starting to find the same floyd. It seems when I ran a skimmer my LPS did great and my soft corals would wither away. Now it is reversed! I wonder if it is because soft corals need more food and hard corals need to avoid soft coral toxins? Maybe the combination of a skimmer and scrubber is the only way to keep BOTH happy?

    Maybe put the skimmer on a timer and only run it 6-10 hours/day

    what does dark growth mean? My "burn" spots are filling in a little but the screen is much darker than before. Before removing the optics my growth was light green and fluffy with giant burnt spot,now its dark dark green with tiny burn spot.
