I think the green alge must out compete the brown stuff because I only had it for a few weeks and the green stuff took over. I don't really mind though because it does not seem to grown on the glass all that readily and the rosey barbs and emerald cory seem to like to eat it. I would assume it also puts a small amount of oxygen into the water.
