Hey @Jeff@CoralVue, do you have any idea why I have this hot spot on my screen? I run 16hrs on 8 off, maybe to much?

Good growth!!! Definitely clean it and keep running it until the center ring fills in. Keep cleaning it as the growth is thick so you want to make sure you run both lights.

Thanks Carlos, that was my old screen still getting this new one off the ground. I'll let it do its thing, maybe the better flow will grow something there

Hello everyone
I bought a icecap algae scrubber an after a month nothing is growing in the unit. I have the unit running 12 hours by apex but seems that I have something wrong. I also have the unit with the two white lights so maybe that's the problem. Can someone explain how to tune in this scrubber? Also how can I seed the unit to accelerate the growth of algae. Thanks in advance.
