I have had my tank up and running for about a month now. I have had a pair of clowns for a week and there is alot of brown algae on the sides and the sand and it is really unattractive. Ive heard of a stage called the brown out period where everything in your tank is covered with this brown algae. Is this true, is this why im experiencing sooooo much brown algae. I am going to perform a 15% water change tonight and change the month older filter media. Will this solve my problems?
Also what is a good brand of carbon to use, because i am going to buy filter floss and cut it to fit my filter and a container of carbon, instead of using the brand name premade filter cartridges.
TIA
