I vacuumed my gravel and performed a 30% water change today, as preventative maintenance and noticed a good amount of brownish algae on my tank glass (inside the tank, of course! ) and on my plastic plants. My light are on maybe 6 hours a day, and the tank isnt in direct sunlight. I also am not an overfeeder. About 2-3 weeks ago, I cleaned the tubes on my whisper filters and now the algae is back there. How do I get rid of it? My 3 snails, 1 pleco, and 1 loach havent touched the algae at all. Isnt brown algae the stuff you dont want??
