Been a while

In you great mind.... will you be dabbling in possibly designing and building a hang on algae scrubber near future for us sumpless reefers?

Seems like it would be fine. I have a horizontal shelf down in my sump with a hole in it. I plan to add a bulkhead and run the full siphon through that. The backup drain will go down to a flare ended fitting with slots in it for draining that will just sit on the shelf to support the unit.

My name is Peter and I got one of Turbo's aquatics awesome scrubbers.
It is HF L4 scrubber for my 100G tank.
I have just finished with basic cycle on this new tank, and scrubber is installed.
Only thing I need to do now is to shorten export pipe, and install flow control there (received with package).

Keeping in mind that I will not play around with jumpers on LED board, just to be safe, my question is what photoperiod you suggest for break in period?
After 24h, with 18h...

So after consulting with Bud I have tried some different things to try to get the proper growth.

Rinsing the screen with tank water.
I upgraded the flow from a mag 3 to a mag 9.
This has caused water to flow down the emergency drain. So I think I'm going to get the high flow upgrade kit.
I changed the lighting schedule.
First I did a 4hrs on 2 hrs off. I did this this for a week.

I do have a couple of questions, and I'm hoping someone here can help:

With the new LED's, what should I do for the initial lighting schedule? There's no diffuser, but should I adjust the jumpers? If so, what jumpers do I remove?
