if you dont have nutrients to begin with then the scrubber will take along time to maure, if you have too much nutrients it will need a bit more cleaning.

it also needs to be cleaned every week or 2 or its purpose is useless as you need to remove some of the nutrients it aquires same as cheato


once it starts to mature you really need to feed it ive upped my feedings by more than double and it grows a sheet weekly.

i also run 2 skimmers and gfo through a reactor and it does not inhibit my growth.
