Hey fellow reefers,
Im in a bit of a dilemma my tank is full of brown algea and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers
Michael

Its a bit difficult to tell as the picture isn’t clear, but it looks like either diatoms or possibly dinoflagellates

Daitoms should clear if it’s a relatively new tank for example, although you can run something like rowaphos to remove silicates to remove a food source to speed it up,

If the algae looks like it has air bubbles rising for example in may be dinoflagellates and if you search there’s a whole thread on here to help.
