Brown algae

[goldenfiji]

I am having more and more brown algae. I wonder what caused that? My NH3, NO2, NO3, & PO4 are undetectable.

I can't see those pictures. Is it just me?

your tank is new set up, if new set up tank is normal, i dont see the pictures too

Yes, it is new. Over a month, going to be 2 month old. The green hair algae has just gone. Now the brown ... Is it normal?

 

[ReachTheSky]

Looks like diatoms to me. It's normal for a new tank to go through a bloom. They will go away soon.

 

[goldenfiji]

And I thought diatom comes before green hair algae ...

second picture looks like some bubble algae..Its something you dont want to have in your tank. Its a headache and will spread, you wanna get rid of that. You can take that rock out of your tank and scrub them off with a tooth brush. Be sure to have a bucket of clean salt water to rise it off b4 you stick it back in your main tank.

since your tank is new thats the only way I can think of to get rid of it. possible an emerald crab can help, but if you see any you should try and manually remove it before it spreads.
