Most algae scrubbers have lots of light escaping, even with light blockers. But look how dark our DROP scrubber is; only one dot of red light out the top.
Only Green Grabber® surfaces, like in this DROP1.4x scrubber®, can hold on to so much slime.
Note the LEDs (arrows) burning through the slime.
This DROP1.4x is full
This DROP1.4x (older model with clear tubing) shows how the 6 high power LEDs burn through the growth.
This black plastic shade screen from a DROP (tm) scrubber even has growth on it. Once removed, all the growth will be on the white Green Grabber® rocky surfaces.
This DROP1.4x shows the bright LEDs shining through this overgrown dark slime. This should have been brushed out in tap water a week ago, but the lights shine through anyway. The water that this came from is very high in nutrients.

The DROP scrubbers of size 1.2 and larger have very strong lighting because of the number of LEDs and large amount of white reflective Green Grabber® surfaces, so they should be started with the included black plastic shade screen in the position shown until the growth surfaces get some color of growth on them.
Why the black shade screen inside the DROP models? Because the red LED lights are very strong, and they reflect off of the Green Grabber® white rocky surfaces, and this is too much light for new algae growth. So the shade reduces the light until the surfaces are coated with some color of growth, and this reduces the light intensity. That's when the power of the lights are needed to shine through the thick growth.
