Starting to see algae growth on the scrubber, and noticing the algae receding already! How many hours do you run lights on your scrubber?

I'd do more water changes. Smaller changes more frequently keeps the tank more stable and IMO is the best way to lower nitrates. I also have Purigen and DeNItrate (both by Seachem) adsorbers in the tank. My nitrates are always 10 or less.
