I think the foam is formaldehyde based, vs polyurethane.

Algea growth on top scrubber. Upflow scrubber is about 3" long. All the water has to pass through it, before it reaches any bio media. Which is a fluidized sand reactor.
This is the water fall scrubber, it's growth is short, with a dark slime film that grows very fast.
I noticed this more as I took half of its lights for the 30 drip through scrubber. Then switched pumps, so now the water fall scrubber is flowing at 300 gph+, on a 7" width. It was only flowing about 90 gph on a gravity siphon.
This is what the 630nm lights were growing in the drip thru scrubber. The 660nm lights are in it now.

Wanted to get your thoughts on this. Ive been getting algae growth on the laundry bag of bio thats under the water lettuce.
Covered it witha piece of roughed up acrylic and a few screens.
Primarily to stop the growth on the bio bag but was thinking if i get algae growth on the acrylic/screens i could.move the water lettuce to another tank.
Think theres a chance it will grow ?
