Brown algae

[RedipsNam]

I got a lot of brown algae or I think it’s a diatoms and I reduce my al prime light to 15 watts and I have 2 tank top and bottom so for them to get a light I put it in the left side from front, is the brown algae is okay without removing them? From sand and from my large rock

How new is the tank? If its still cycling its diatoms and just leave them be, the will get replaced with green algae in a couple weeks.

You might try turning off your red and green lights. It worked for me.

If its that old it could be dinos. Is it stringy and covered in bibbles?

Pictures under white light will be enormously helpful. An almost immediate diagnosis of dinos can be given then if that is the case.

No there’s no bubbles just a brown thing I wipe it yesterday while doing water change but can’t remove those brown thing from sand and rocks

If it comes back tomorrow or the next day, its probably dinos, especially on the sand.

If the brown stuff comes back, there are a few techniques that work to eliminate them.
