brown algea

[harrisagogetter]

I have some algea growing at the bottom of my tank and wondering on how to remove it. I have some turbos in there as well as some hermits. They seems to be doing a fair job. Below in the fuge is a prism from red sea. The tank is next too a bay window and I know that some of the light is coming in from there. The water params seem to be ok

am 0 trate 0 trite 30 cal 440

Is there any way to conquer this battle? I really don't want to move the tank ude to the fact that it has a custom stand... It fits in the corner nicely I think. Do you think that a sea hare will help this issue or am I shooting in the dark.

Here are a few pics

Any help is appreciated

I am assuming the trites = 30 is actually trates, alga eats off trates very well, so I would try to lower the trates by some water changes.

probably would be the best thing to do from my research

How often is this done? i probebly put about 12 oz of RO/Di water in the tank almost every day. Along with that I recently did a water change of about 5 gals. This would be almost equal to 10%.

Thanks

I can never get my turbos to work on the brown algae that forms on my sand. They stay on the rock and on the glass. Even if I take them off and put them in the sand they run for the rocks. I bought some nasarrius snails and they seem to stay in the sand and eat the brown algae there.
