Hey guys, I have a brown algae problem, there is no need to describe it because it is just what you would expect, all over the tank and glass. So, I have a few questions.
1. What do you think is the best way to get rid of it?
2. If it feeds on silicates and needs that to live, and there is only a limited supply of that, then if I just let them grow until there are tons of them, until they burn out the silicates really fast, will that work?
3. Should I get a nerite snail or something to try and stop them?
4. What is the real cause?
5. Judging by this^^^ what is the best solution? Should I turn the lights off more? Feed less?
I feel like a teacher writing a test!
