Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I need some advice on getting rid of brown algae or should I say diatom if I spelled it right. I've had my tank almost 4yrs without having this stuff. I was told to have good water movement. I have a canister filter with the discharge at one end of the tank pointing to the other end. I also have a powerhead at the opposite end pointing the other way. The only thing I've done different is the food. I was using mini pellet but the fish kinda stopped eating it. I started using flake the fish seem to like it better. I'm to the point of stripping the tank and starting over.
