Well the light is weak, so run it 24 hours; it's causing dark growth which need cleaning more often. Also the cleaning should remove everything on the screen and the pipe slot. Screen should be ready for a complete brushing clean in 5 days.

Thx for input, I've been running light 24/7 since got. I have 100% red refugium light- maybe I'll give that try. Will clean screen better- hopefully helps
FWIW I have a medium Ice cap pro that I added on a 300g system. It pulled my nitrates down from 15-20 to 3-5, and has phosphate running much lower ranging from .03-.1. I run lights 16 hours per day. I scrape it every 3 weeks. Here’s my last harvest
