Is that a week's worth

Dang... mine was a nice dark green with patches of hair. I just scraped it with a spatula and rinsed.

i recently joined myself...

So, here we are just over a month since putting it in place. Getting a good thick growth. My bottom bulbs are too close but I can't do much about it.

NeveSSL · Dec 4, 2013

Wow, Lindsey! Pretty serious growth!

im pretty impressed at how DARK green it is. guess that means it is full of nutrients. Hopefully we can get those nitrates puled down. I am going to start cleaning one side a week in hopes that the extended growth can accelerate the nitrate removal.

This is the algae from my algae scrubber. I don't normally post, just wanted to share my harvest with you guys. The secret to a good algae scrubber is the amount of lights and the flow you have. I also feed a lot.

Nice! How long did it take to get this growth and what size is your system?

Brandon

wgraham · Dec 5, 2013

My system is 300dt, 135 gallon rock tank and 75 gallon tank all tied together

the screen is about 20" x 6" with 27 red LED's and 9 blue LED's on each side

pickupman66 · Dec 5, 2013

what is the lenth of time for that growth? Ie how often is it cleared off?

wgraham · Dec 5, 2013

Most people go by the 7 day rule, but I don't I clean mines about 10 to 14 days, I can go longer because as you can see I have no die off. This cleaning was about 10 days.
