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.

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.

Yes that is ok. You can do more if you want, to get a full sheet across the bottom, but for now it is good.
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.
