Nice!

I got a drop 1.2x for my 25g AIO but haven't set it up yet. If my nurrients aren't horribly off, can I run the scrubber at a reduced schedule, like 12-16 hr? Or will it lose ability to maintain the turf algae?

I also have macroalgae growing in the display (string of pearls and soon to be atomic brocoli). Will the scrubber killt those off? Wondering if there is a balance between macroalgae growth and microalgae control. Was also thinking of a reverse light schedule with the scrubber running through the night and off during the peak day--not sure if that would help against the hair algae, though... Thanks!!

You can reduce light hours if you want; bubbles always 24 hours.

Start off 18 hours to get growth, then you can reduce if needed to keep the display macros.

A reverse schedule can help pH, but growth is not changed.
