Very nice! Make sure the whole screen on both sides is covered and getting enough flow. Once it starts getting seeded with hair algae, you can turn up the flow.
I didn't even have a diatom bloom in my 20g as I was running the scrubber - the scrubber turned really brown though! Then it started turning green. I got pics posted somewhere...
I'm excited for yah! Can't wait to see your results in the next two weeks. Oh yeah, that's how long it takes to get a screen started. lol

Things are ok. Tank is cleared up. Scrubber is getting pretty brown. I had to move the lights back a bit because the center of the screen wasn't growing anything. I still haven't got any filter pad to put in sump for bubbles. My LFS isn't so local. Just haven't had the time to go.

Did a water change tonight and decided to plug in my skimmer and try again. It hasn't been on in weeks since I first tried it. It started skimming immediately! I think it was just too clean before because I cleaned it with vinegar. Must have a nice coating on it now so the bubbles cllimb right up. I got some filter pad too.
