Scrubbers really don't grow real turf... it's just a name. But it looks like Ulva Linnaeus that could not get enough nutrients and so it was just left with a clear shell.

This SURF2 had slime that was brushed off the walls, and is now growing hair algae around the middle two bubble outlets.

Last harvest of my Rain 8, these are full sized dinner plates. Its a beast and a workhorse.

Different stages of a DROP-10 filling in, and some bubbling video with the growth compartment removed.

This DROP1.2 is either holding onto high-nutrient slime, or is new and filling in before hair algae growth. You can see the three LEDs... two on the right, one on the left.

RAIN2 can operate partially submerged, and with one hand you can lift the LED dome lid off, twist off the red cap, and slide out the screen to give to the fish for feeding.

HOG1x making good tang food.

The RAIN-8 lets you remove the LED dome light cover while the water is still running. You can even remove the red caps, and pull the screens out, while the water is still running.

This SURF2 or 2x looks to be before and after a cleaning, although more algae should have been removed.

The classic "tray of goodness"... a packed HOG3 or 3x or 3xx in saltwater. Since the growth area of a HOG is all underwater, the growth does not mat down like a waterfall and instead can grow out to touch the glass.

RAIN2 optional slime and heavy growth screen, showing both sides a week apart. Without the vertical rails extending out from the screen, a lot of this slime would have fallen off.

The slime and heavy growth screen is available for the RAIN2, RAIN4 and RAIN8
