One week of growth, the lights got a little blocked, towards the end of the week.
I brushed off the loose outer layer, to let the more fibrous turf algea build up.
Still growing, nitrates are around 15ppm.
I have a load of fry in the scrubber also. They have been growing well.
The fluidized scrubber is still going.
Nitrates at 20ppm, 2 weeks since last WC.
Turf algea is about 2" long with some finer strand algea about 6" long.
It been almost a full month without a harvest , just letting it grow.
I almost forgot about this one, still going in my basement. I need to spend more time with it, but busy working 6 days a week.
It's at 18 ppm nitrate.
The ball have greened up nicely in the last 6 months, the 10 chips are still algea free.
Hey, this is awesome, what are the "balls" you are using? Have a TL
R status of the scrubber as well? Going to look into putting one of these in my new build.

Not sure what a TLR ? Is
The balls are from Walmart, the 2.99 dozen plastic golf balls, 36 grit sanded, then 3/8" hole drilled on 3 axis, so they will vent air.
I sanded them with a screw on a drill shank, lathe style, before drilling the holes.
TLDR is Too Long Didn't Read. I skimmed some early bits but that was all. Overall the algae scrubber is working well in your tanks though? Thanks!
