Dark slime in a HOG3 or 3x or 3xx from a saltwater tank. Once again it's important to remember that dark slime filters the best. It holds the most nutrients, but must be brushed cleaned more often (3 to 5 days).
This is not mud. It is living, growing, macroalgal slime that has consumed nutrients out of the water. The worm-like things are Green Grabber® strings attached to the bottom of the Green Grabber rocky walls.
Everyone clap for Cladophora (species). This can grow in salt or fresh, and tends to be a bit thicker in salt, as shown here. This could feed several large fish for a few days.
Growing some food, and doing some filtering, in freshwater with a HOG.5 scrubber
Although black slime absorbs the most nutrients from the water
(see http://algaescrubber.net/forums/show...he-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.
Here is a small HOG1x scrubber® on the front of a large saltwater sump, growing some live food to be fed later. The red light on the glass does not matter because the sump in in a cabinet.
A reminder that you are never alone when you have an algae monster nearby...
This SURF8 or 8x scrubber® has dark slimey strings in both compartments. This is from saltwater (strings are best for salt) and shows how the dark slime is only on the Green Grabber® strings, and not the rocky side walls. Some growth just prefers strings, and some prefers rocky walls; none of this growth would hold on to a waterfall screen very well, however.
This DROP1.2 scrubber® is over due for a cleaning:
