      Brown algae

      What’s the best way to get rid of brown algae?
      It’s a new setup so I’m guessing it’s part of the process but just wondering if there’s anything I can do to curb it. Phosphate remover?

      Is it diatoms? If so, it’ll naturally go away just give it time. I wouldn’t use any phosphate remover unless you know your phosphate leaves and you’ll be testing consistently. You could try decreasing the time your light is on, otherwise just let it do its thing.

      Yep just part of the setup. It will go away soon. You can limit light use if you dont have anything depending on them.
