    Here is one side of a RAIN2 screen, easily pulled up and out of the tray when you want to take it all to your sink for cleaning/brushing. This way you can brush out the pipe slot too.

    Here is the other side of the same screen on the previous post; guess which side had more light.

    This RAIN4 is ready for a cleaning/harvesting, and shows how low it can go in the sump water, in this case the tray is all under water. This can be done to save vertical space, or to make it dead silent, since the water draining from the tray does not fall at all and thus does not need a drain pipe attached to it.

    You might think this is a big screen from a RAIN4 (which is now available again) but it's just a RAIN2. Also it's an older photo with the previous wide-style hanging tabs, whereas the current ones are a narrow-style unbreakable tab.

    Another RAIN4 filling in, with the tray under water (see the right side) which allows dead silent operation safely because the GEM5 lights are submersible. This particular RAIN4 needs the screen and tray brushed clean.

    This RAIN2 needs to be cleaned/harvested like yesterday. Thank goodness for the easy-to-remove and easy-to-clean tray.

    This RAIN4 (tm) Green Grabber® screen is almost filled in. Note the coralline on the bottom tray, which is not a problem to clean because of how much open space you have when the LED dome lid is removed. And it might look like the tray is setting on a table, but it's actually still in the sump, sitting at water level which makes zero sound.

    This RAIN4 is getting started, and looks like it has 1 light running in the middle. The dark slime (from high nutrients in the water) is holding on to the Green Grabber screen as best it can, but still needs cleaning/harvesting every 3 or 4 days until lighter green hair growth can get rooted in the screen. Waterfalls are no match with bubble upflows when dealing with slippery dark slime, but the porous 3D printed screen will hold more of the growth than the old style knitting canvas screens will. This slime situation is a great application for our new Slime and Heavy Growth screens.

    This is an established RAIN4 standard stock flat screen, showing the newer hang-tabs at the top, ready to drop into the display to feed the fish.
