According to my fish store, this brown algae is common in new tanks. He sold me a Mexican Turbo Snail and a common Sea Urchin. I am not sure who has been busy cleaning but the rocks are looking a lot better! I would say 50% of the brown algae is gone. I tested my levels again today and Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates are all still zero. I have added my first 2 fish 10 days ago. How do I know when I should do a water change? In my freshwater tank, I do one about every 45 days. I know I have to do more with saltwater tank but just not sure when.
