I would start by doing a 50% PWC weekly.


Ask your water company for a water analysis sheet.

It could be you're having Diatom blooms due to silicates in your water.

Sorry I was unclear but yes all the decor and plants get a brown color to it. Maybe I'll try and get an algae eater and see if that works

Diatom outbreaks are very common in new aquarium set ups, they generally disappear as quick as they appeared. If this is a established tank I wouod look into your two water which could contain high levels of phosphate. If you must get a fish to help control a bristlenose plec will have that tank spotless in a few days, they work hard and stay small.

have you looked into uv lights doctorfosterand smith has them om sale

UV lights will only kill algae issues like green water, they need to be in a floating scenario for these to work. They're a waste of money in my opinion.
