    It`s not actually me leaving them. It`s a very hungry greedy puffer Which is too large to hunt on every small piece.
    Also, tomorrow is the scrubber cleaning time. The result should be pretty good.

    Ok, here we go. This is the best result I ever had. Almost 1m long and very hard to clean with lots of amphipods.

    Perfect. Strong light makes a big difference. A few harvests like that and your nutrients will be pretty low.

    Thank you, it's good to hear this. I'll write here about any changes in no3, po4 or scrubber.
    I've also stopped vodka dosing about 2 weeks ago, instead of adding more ml.
    Should I cut off the scrubber "tail" every time I see it because it's submerged in sump and I'm not sure if there is enough light for it?

    All scrubber is green, growth is the same. PO4 0.1, NO3 still 50+

    Looks like not so good news here. NO3 50+, PO4 0.05 by Salifert. Still refuse to balance...

    Not sure what you mean by balance. But you stopped carbon dosing, and the phosphate is still lower.
