Here's my scrubber results, week 3 of the scrubber operations. 7 days buildup of slime algae. On a 400 gallon system with no Skimmer, and 14 fish in the display. 4 tangs, and 1 Large rabbit fish. The rest are all smaller fish. And no clean up crew yet.. I have a Dragon Wrasse that will most likely eat any type of CUC I put in. . . Lots of slime algae! Just thought you'd like me to share my slime!

Well, so far, I feed probably the heaviest I've ever fed a reef tank. A combination of flake twice a day, a Full sheet of Nori 3-4 times a week, and two cubes of frozen Mysis with selcon 3-4 days a week. My black tang and rabbit fish eat the nori like it's a candy bar.

So, with that biological load, and no water changes in 2 going on 3 weeks, and no protein skimmer, All I have is some algae on the side glass, and the rocks are covered in Cyano. I also noticed that the Cyano is starting to peel off a couple rocks.
