I think you cleaned it correctly. You should clean it when it looks like it needs it. I know this sounds a bit vague, but if you do everything...
Yeah, that's filling in much better now with the LED light backed up. Interesting how just an inch or two of distance can make all the difference!
Yes, as long as your LEDs are rated for 700mA. I use these on my scrubbers in this manner all the time. Check out the video I just posted last...
Here are a few videos showing the new drivers and LED boards Turbo's Aquatics First Look: LED Board V2.0 & Custom Driver [MEDIA] Turbo's...
yup found it here...
I've seen white acrylic scrubbers before, look at the user "Rygh" on the algae scrubber site, he's one of the LED scrubber pioneers. Same...

No, which one is new and which one is old? The tanks looks different
Which of those last 2 pics is the most current? (The tank pics)
you can just drag & drop pictures into the reply window and upload them here. They have to be less than 2MB though, that's a server limitiation....
yeah you've definitely got enough flow. I think you need better spray protection, that's really bad. You shouldn't let water spray all over your...
Well...I'm just guessing here, same as you. Put the diffusers in and run long hours - 20-22, maybe even 24/7. See what happens?
Based on these, here is what I would advise: The LED fixture is a bit too close - you're getting photosaturation right in front of is, at the top...
So is the via Aqua pump only feeding the scrubber? How hog up above to water is the slot pipe, about 10-12"? What are your nitrates at? What test...
