    Looks really good for a new one. A bit dark though; nutrients must be really high. Should lighten up soon.

    Thanks Santa Monica. Yeah, I guess the algae its a bit dark for now. I have this scrubber on one of my breeding setups where the nutrients are sky high. They are starting to come down though. I have the lights on for 12 hours for now.
