Hi

I was just curious, I have brown algae in my tank... a common problem i think, from what I've been reading!

Anyway, I've read a wee bit about Algae eaters, (bristlenose placos etc) and was just wondering what success people have had adding live algae "hoovers"!!??

Cheers, AF xx

Algae eaters only eat the green algae. The only way to get rid of brown algae is strong lighting and lots of scrubbing.

My algae eaters didn't even eat the green stuff!
Try buying one of those algae scrapers with the little blade on it, they can remove anything!

also water changes to get the nitrates down

ah! so is nitrates the cause of my brown algae?
I've only had brown stuff wish i had green! lol!

Try stronger lighting. That helped me.
