I haven't posted in a long time. I've been tinkering with scrubber designs and i think total system flow is important for the scrubber to get working (more so than lighting).
It just makes sense that the more molecules of N:P:FE per second the better it will grow. I got the idea from green algae growing on my mp10 pump that wasn't getting direct lighting but plenty of flow.
was originally using a 19.5 watt 2700k 25 degree angle for the first week but the center was way too intense nothing grew and mostly yellow grew outside the circle
