Hi All,

Tank Config. is a follows.

H-24"
Light- 4 Spiral CFL of 23 W. each(6500K), 1 people of 38 W. (6500K)
Sera As Base Substrate and ADA Amazonia in the top layer.
Plants are ase follows:
Crypt Sp. Cabomba Caroliniana, Indian water lily,Aponogeton,Hygrophila Difformis,Bacopa monnieri,Alternanthera, Dwarf hairgrass
Plant Density Heavy.
Initially the plants are growing fine.. but now I have a problem with brown algae, which are spotted in the glass and on the leaf also...
I have a DIY CO2 system...
Please advice how to remove those brown stuff.  |

| Brown algae, actually diatoms, is very common in newly set up tanks and often goes away after a few months. |
