Although black slime absorbs the most nutrients from the water
(see http://algaescrubber.net/forums/showthread.php?3740-Slime-is-the-best-filter)
it can cover up weak LED lights easily. But the strong 660nm deep red LED lights in
DROP scrubbers® cut through the slime to enable growth on the other side of the box.

Most algae scrubbers have lots of light escaping, even with light blockers. But look how dark our DROP scrubber is; only one dot of red light out the top.

This is where a DROP scrubber® is really useful... back compartments of nano's. This photo is looking down on it:

Can you spot the algae-eating (filter-eating) culprits in this DROP1.2x scrubber? To prevent these, just pour some fresh water in during each cleaning/harvesting.

Deep red light, also known as ruby red or 660nm red, mixed with upflowing bubbles that rub rocky Green Grabber® textures, is what grows the algae in this DROP1.2x scrubber®

This DROP1.2x is cooking pumpkin pie. Actually, it's a new installation with very low nutrients in the water, which needs the black shade screen to reduce the red light.

This DROP1.2x has bright green slime and needs brushing every few days. This growth gets thicker on Green Grabber rocks under water, but not on strings, and not on waterfalls.
