In the left pic, notice how it looks like the thickest growth is at the middle on the bottom, where the bubbles come out, and at the top where the bubbles accumulate.
The same in the right photo, just not as pronounced. Reviewing some of the previous photos I can see the same general growth pattern. Are you making note of that for general information, or is there something I should do? Thanks.
Nothing to do, just noting that the air bubbles cause the most growth.
Water params as of Sep01:
1. pH: 6.6 - 6.8
2. Ammonia (NH3): 0.0
3. Nitrite (NO2): 0.0
4. Nitrate (NO3): ~40+
5. Phosphate (PO4): ~4+
[Sep05] I forgot to note that phosphate is down by 1 since Aug01, AND down by 6 since Jun12 when I started the scrubbers. That's encouraging.

Day 84, 12 weeks (14 days growth):
I toothbrushed both today. It looks like I got somewhat better lighting on the left photo. Both scrubbers were equally green, so the difference in the photos is due to lighting.
These were before scrubbing, correct?
Yes.
Saturday, Sep 12, one week's growth:
No cleaning today. Just letting it grow. I don't know why I seem to have a problem with the second photo each week. Maybe it's because the door isn't fully opened and it blocks some of the light.
