New Santa Monica 100 Set Up

[Floridays]

After receiving the new Algae Scrubber from Santa Monica, I was truly impressed with the quality and workmanship with his invention. This scrubber is well worth the money. I am anxiously waiting to see how the scrubber works.

I have to give Santa Monica numerous KUDOS on responding to my emails and phone calls for technical and general questions promptly. I believe he is very proud of his product and it appears that he has spent a lot of time testing and perfecting his product. The best part is the appearance. Because my wife has approved it along with the location were is sit

what's that blue cap on the drain off

[Floridays]

The blue cap was a protector for shipping, I did take it off. It just to plug the hole until set up.

[SantaMonica]

It's actually so you can plug the drain while cleaning.

Oh Ok

Third Day running no Algae yet.
Lights 18 on 6 off
Should I remove the filter sock??
I am not running a skimmer
Any suggestions?

I would say just let it run just like you have been. Check in a few days. I was paranoid checking everyday (still am lol) After that first weekish, when you remove the screen, you will see how brown it is.

Ok
Yea guess Im trying to rush it.
Patience

Thanks
