 Re: HELP!! Brown algea
If you could give us water parameters and lighting schedules that will help us help you figure out where the algae is coming from. Without the info, I really am not sure what's causing it. Have you tried a 15% water change? I have some algae growth I do not want in my tank and just taking out another gallon helped slow down the growth tremendously.
Also, if what you try isn't working, you could add some cheato to your refugium or sump and it will compete the algae for the nutrients in the water. But, I'm finding this true in my dt that there is something in the water that is supplying the algae with nutrients and therefore I have to do 13-15% weekly water changes in my tank to keep it under control.
Just my .02.
