Algae Type?

[Davchanman02]

I have a 4 month old tank going through the uglies. I am currently dealing with an outbreak of a thin spidery like brown algae problem throughout my tank. Any idea what this is and how best to control it?

Thanks!

David,
I can’t tell from looking. What type of herbivore clean up crew do you have in this tank. Did you start tank with dry sand and dry rock?

Check out reef cleaners nuisance algae link and see if you can identify your nuisance.

Started with dry rock. I have a cleaner shrimp, hermit crabs, trochus snails, margarita snails, a few nassarius snails.
