I read somewhere here that ats screens are rated by a formula of 1cube of food =12 square inches of screen. The darker slime algae could be either from the lack of proper lighting or excess nutrients.
I recommend you wiping the dark algae as it grows in so that hair algae can fight back and take hold

Kk. Ty. Good idea. I figured it was time to clean it.
Its 17x6 or 7"
Was hoping SM would chime in. Lol.
Guess not.

That size would handle 5 cubes a day or 10cubes if you had lights on both sides

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

I need to make sure their flow on the other side. My old one did have lights on both sides.

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

I'll have to ruff up the other side and get it going. LOL

Yes it's well past needing cleaning. It's already detaching, and forming pod circles.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

Dang. Lol.
Ty SM. How often do you recommend your clients and customers clean their SM units?
D

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

Pod circles?

[SantaMonica]

5 to 10 days. Pods are eating their way through it.
