Hello everyone,
This is my first tank and my first post on reef2reef. I recently had some sort of brown algae show up in my tank and it is beginning to spread a lot more. My tank has been going for around 6 months and has ran with no issues until now. I didn’t introduce lighting until about 2 weeks ago and I expected to go through an ‘ugly phase.’ I was mainly wondering if anybody had any idea of what type of algae this could be so I can formulate how I will combat it.

If any info about the tank would be helpful for assessment please let me know so I can provide it, thanks!

Welcome to R2R!

Diatoms are usually the first golden-brown film forming micro algae.
