Yeah, I had great success with it. Good growth and the best color I've ever seen anyone get. This is totally unedited under cheap black box LEDs:
Intense white and blue light, decent flow. Plenty of nutrients, N/P/K, iron, calcium. That's about it.

Wow! The blue lights really make em look like some kind of psychedelic mushroom lol. Do you supplement those nutrients? I might do a only a couple soft corals in the future so unsure if water changes will be sufficient in maintaining enough minor elements for the scroll algae. I got a lil chaeto in the sump which will hopefully be replaced with these. Some mangroves are also in the DP but they are still fairly new and will see if they will thrive.
Yeah, I was running very high nutrient levels in that tank, aimed for around 20-40 ppm NO3 and .5-1ppm PO if I remember right. They got a lot higher than that on occasion. If it's a little chaeto and blue scroll are the only algaes you have then I don't think you'll need to supplement.
