Is this to much flow for algae scrubber
Added several small pumps to help increase low flow coverage. Really have no time to rebuild the scrubber so its the best bandage fix for now. Does the video show any major issues I need to correct?

I usually run about 30 gph per linear inch, but I've gone as high as 50. Didn't make any difference. Yours looks ok to me. Wonderfully gnarly looking screen.

Why would there be small yellow algae spots in the middle? Is this because of too much flow or too much light?
