I have a GSP set up in a 20 gallon with crushed coral. My tank is fully cycled but I keep getting brown algae on the floor and on the rocks. Any solutions?
umm how brackish? i'd say a dragon goby as a sand sifter. Use nerites as a cleanup
And something to reduce nitrates and phosphates. Chemipure elite? brackish plants, etc

but they use phosphates and silacates to grow soo.. go with algone... i guess would be the answer ?
but diatoms are a fact of life in most tanks. maintence wise since its a 10 gallon a toothbrush to a similar scrubbing utensil (something from the dollar store will do though not metal) on the rock and tank corners, kent metal scraper for the glass and agitate the sand a little as you would a saltwater tank
Thanks. I stopped by the LFS today and found a phosphate remover by Hagen. I am going to give it a try and see if anything improves. I also bought a bigger gravel vac so I could clean the gravel better. Hopefully this will improve with the diatoms.
