Customer's GEM5® lights pulled out of a saltwater sump. Although growth usually grows on a screen or other growth surface, sometimes the growth grabs on to the light itself.

Dark growth like this means it could be cleaned sooner, and, the lights can be kept on for more hours each day.
Nice flow of water across the bottom of the screen:

Here is a look inside the RAIN4 dome lid, with all 6 of the GEM5® lights plugged in. The photo had to be dimmed (edited) because the lights are blinding bright 660nm deep reds, and put out 5 watts...

HOG1 or 1x with lots of slime, ready for a brushing in a kitchen sink. Lots of nutrients in this slime, that was removed from the water.

On-and-off is ok and works the same. Shorter cycles are supposed to work better, but I've not seen it enough better to make it worthwhile.
2-and-2 is probably too little light, because that is...
Another new photo of the RAIN4 in position on the adjustable pole mount. Water is fed into the gray 3/4 inch hose barb at the bottom, or, the barb can be removed and a 3/4 inch hard pipe used...
This is actually dark slime growth from high nutrients in the water, and low light, and too long before cleaning; so it looks like the middle of the screen held on as long as it could and let go....

No, just a customer's fully grown HOG3 scrubber® in saltwater. Most HOG scrubbers never grow this much, so don't expect yours to. But this one did.

Example of good amount of water flow coming off the Green Grabber® screen on a RAIN2 scrubber® waterfall. Flow this strong is not essential, but you do want the water flowing off of the whole screen...
N and P are probably still too low for the chaeto.

Welcome from UK.
Yes it is looking good. Brush everything off so you can see the white screen holes, and slot, and it will fill in more the next week or so.

I would just double feeding, especially liquid coral food, especially at night.
Metal cans are OK for freshwater and fish-only saltwater systems, and they block all light from escaping, so this customer made a nice DIY waterfall scrubber with 4 of the GEM5 lights in a can, and a...
This is typical of chaeto in low nutrient tanks which are not fed a lot. Chaeto is a weak filter compared to slime, cyano and hair algae, and so you are basically adding more food (chaeto) to the...
