This RAIN4 with slime needs:
Cleaning today, including the pipe and tray.
Cleaning more often, probably every 3-5 days.
More light; all six lights should be plugged in.
An optional slime screen, to hold all that slime:

Green Grabber slime screens
This is how to handle slime on waterfall screens which occurs in higher nutrients, which many times is when a scrubber is first added to an older tank. This RAIN2 has an optional slime screen which has vertical slime rails on one side, allowing you to compare the rail side to the non-rail...

Slime is the best filter
Sometimes people see lots of pictures of green-hair-algae packed scrubbers, and then worry when their own scrubber is only growing slime. Well, here is some good news: slime pulls out more nutrients from the water than GHA does! And this goes for dark, and especially black, colors of slime...

RAIN4 Overgrowth
Jim Stime of LA Fishguys shows his customer's sump and RAIN4 which needs a super cleaning/harvesting.

HOG3 or 3x or 3xx showing several things. First it should have been cleaned/harvested sooner, because the middle is showing white where growth has detached. Second is the top waterline, where it's white/orange above it; this is normal and keeps bubbles and salt spray inside. Third is the bottom where the bubble tubing has been grown over; needs to be brushed clean during each harvest.
Fun note: Although this HOG's Green Grabber surfaces, under water, can still hang on to this growth when it wasn't cleaned, a waterfall scrubber would have lost all this growth because the growth has no water support and thus it falls off.
