    I doubt that I can do it with the current setup. Change to other lights will cost $$$ and I think I can`t insert 100W leds in 30W housing with enough heat distribution.

    Keep the screen scraped of the dark growth. The dark will absorb light.

    I`ve made new holders for flood lights. It is now 8cm instead of 12cm far from scrubber both sides.

    That should help. And changing the white to red (or plant-grow) will help too.

    Anyway, porc`s new home will arrive on Sunday probably. It will be Juwel Rio 400. I think I`ll start new scrubber there immediately when it will be ready. This should take about a month.

    Unfortunately the new porc's tank is on hold now again. They reported they don't have right color. But, I'm getting more growth now, about 400g, of algae per week and it has more green spots. Unfortunately, the PO4 salifert test kit is still on it's way now and the NO3 still refuse to drop. algae is growing all over the tank...
    I've also ordered 90 degree lens for my flood lights.
