Hello All Algaescrubber fans!
This is my first topic on this forum. I'm from Poland. My English isn't perfect, so i'm sorry for any language mistakes. I set algaescrubber 2 months ago. I built it in my new system 150 gallon total volume. It runs skimmerless all the time (2 months from start). I have read the FAQ. I built my scrubber by "one square inch for one gallon water of system volume" and "35 gallon/hour of flow for one inch of length of net". My fish: 3 surgeons (max 3 inch long), 4 chromis viridis, 2 blenna, one six line wrasse, 2 ocellaris.
My scrubber:
lighting: 3 x 24W
flow:
Foto period in my scrubber is 18 hours ON/ 6 hours OFF. NO3 was always undetectable, but one week ago it was o.1mg/l (hanna)
There are brown dense algae growing on my algaescrubber. I scrape my scrubber one time a week.
I suppose that, i did something wrong, because it's running for more than 2 months and PO4 is 0,34mg/l (hanna).
Could You check my set up and tell me what is wrong? I'd be very glad.
Kindest Regards
KIDULT
