Hey Pitt, got a question for ya' bro. How the Heck do you keep your rock nice and white? Mine turns brown after 3 weeks LOL.
Brown algae are diatoms presumably from silicates and should go away by itself overtime if undisturbed, although in my case it never went away, I've tried waiting it out (had for over a year), keeping nitrates low, cleaning it with every water change, etc... Nothing worked, until I got myself a bn pleco, the brown crap was gone completely in a matter of days and I've yet to see it.
Amen ibr3ak i have a couple of Albino BristelNose plecos in every tank never an issue and they all have their eyes and they love the brown diatoms hehehe ibr3ak beat me to it..
I too suffered from brown algae for a year with a couple new tanks. Phosphates feed this stuff (controlling them is one key). A BN pleco wasn't an option for me with mature frontosa. Stepping up my mainteance and limiting direct sunlight has made it practcially dissappear. I have heard conflicting results with the BN (glad it worked for you - that's awesome as I share the hatred of brown algae). I did consider Zebra Nerrites snails (probably not a bad way to go).
That's what I think, Pitt. BTW, have you checked the Razzo's thread of his 1st avatar? I answered a question about your avatar. Check if it is correct , Pitt.
