brown algae

[corey parker]

How can I get rid of brown algae. Water levels are good. Please help.

 

[reefer4sho]

parameteres for
nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, and phosphates would help...

 

[coralnut99]

A brown film on the glass and rock surfaces, or puffy/stringy snot-like stuff? Parameters, as requested, what you're topping off with would help too.

phosphate and silica are what you need to control.

 

[GlassReef]

If he would tell us if he's using RO/DI we'd know what the problem is .....

i have been using ro /DI water but still have this brown alage

talking lobophora?

Personal experience, Tuxedo and Black Long Spine urchins don't touch it. Found just keeping up water quality it eventually just fades away.
