What does it look like after seeding and the water back on?
Stages of an aquarist's happiness with a scrubber:
1. The day you see the first very light-brown color on the screen.
2. The day you see the screen covered left to right, top to bottom.
3. The day AFTER you think you saw your N or P test go down. Because that day after, you tested again to be sure.
4. The day you realized, for sure, that the the piece of filtration equipment you removed last week was really and truely not needed.
5. The day you finally realize that the N and P problems you've been fighting for (weeks, months, years) are finally gone.
5. The day another aquarist asks you, "How did you do it?"

After rubbing what green Algae I could scrape up, into the mesh like a caveman, the water is now running full width, and it looks slimey(?) shiney...

Well congrats you have the first completed scrubber on MFK 
That pic of the water flowing off the bottom is the best I've ever seen. I'll use it as THE example of how the flow should look. Maybe the cross-cuts you added to the slot gave it extra flow. Can you get one more closup pic of where the screen goes into the pipe?
Do you know the GPH?
