This is normal for a new tank. How long do you run your lights and how much do you feed?

Sorry, hit enter to quick.

How often do you feed?

I had this happen at first and just cut back the lenght of time my lights were on, how often and how much I fed, and altered my water changing schedule.

yea if your just setting up your tank normally you'll go through a brown algae (diatom) stage could last a few weeks
