This is a side view of thick saltwater growth on a RAIN2 screen (note the old style hang tabs). Don't expect this growth very often; this is a special case.

This RAIN2 has grown out to touch the GEM5 lights on the inside of the dome lid. You can see the marks of the individual LEDs in the growth.

This SURF2 or 2x or 2xx scrubber® shows some of the bare Green Grabber® strings at the top, but if you look close you can see green growth following some of the other strings.

This is a pretty good example of the textured RAIN2 tray holding growth that has dropped off the screen. For best filtering, the screen should be cleaned sooner, but if not the tray will help.

This RAIN4 has very dark slime from high nutrients in saltwater, and could really use a Slime and Heavy Growth Screen. At least, it should be brushed clean every 3 days, and lights run 24 hours.

18 is a safe amount for now.
Should only be running 1 light, not 2. Brush the screen and holes clean, and the tray and pipe slot, and run the 1 light until most of the screen holes are filled in with some color growth.

This DROP1.2 (an older one with clear tubing) looks like some growth has been pulled out by hand. For more filtering, you could brush the surfaces off in the sink under freshwater.

This is a rare situation where a pole mount is not used, but a regular shelf on the top of the sump is not either. Instead this RAIN2 is on a shelf halfway down the sump.

The RAIN2 with two GEM5 lights is enough light for most situations, and allows you to silicone in two more lights later if needed.
