Here is a ready-to-harvest screen of green hair algae on a RAIN4.

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:

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.
