Are you using the spiral CFLs? Or are you using the CFL floodlight? You want CFL floodlight.

Floods are good for small screens, and spirals/reflectors for large screen.
8 inch reflector is probably best, because a floodlight would need to be place pretty far away from the screen.
7x7 would be what I would consider larger. Like SM says stick with your 8" reflectors.

Thanks SM Ill stick with what I got right now. I wouldn't have the room to keep the floods far enough away from the screen anyway. When I can get around to it, would it be okay to post a few picks of my display for you to look at? I have this brown hair algae problem on my live rock all of a sudden. I don't know if it is a scrubber problem or maybe something to do with my new LED lights I put in a couple of weeks ago. The algae was being removed from the back and side walls of the tank but now it seems to be coming back. I have been dosing iron like you suggested a few weeks ago on another thread I had started. I think it was waterflow through the slot if I remember correctly. Thanks again!
Yes do post display pics, but any algae in the display is by definition a scrubber problem.
Hey SM, I'm finally getting around to posting those pics. I just got back from Hawaii, and the brown hair algae is alot worse then when I left. I cleaned the screen when I got back and I also changed the light bulbs. Hope you can steer me in the right direction of getting this problem solved. This scrubber worked for the 1st month and a half great but now the last three weeks have been a strugle. I'm going to do my best to upload some pics for you. I hope it works because I've never done it here before. Thanks again!]
