Brown algae

[Casey775]

I think I over fed my tank with some oyster feast and may have a nitrate spike. Say some brown algae starting and did a water change a cabin. Any other suggestions

Frequent PWC`s and cut back to every other day feeding. Are you running a skimmer?

 

[Casey775]

Yes on the skimmer. I will cut back the food. Reply back with results

About two weeks at this location. Had to break it down and move it. I haven't dosed with anything yet. My buddy told me to put a charcoal filter in a high flo section of the sump. I have quite a bit of corals so I'm really want to keep it off them

could be diatoms, which is a known algae that starts forming after a cycle. is the algae on the rocks and sand?
