Brown algae growing on my glass
Hi Guys
Just a quick one. I have some brown algae growing on my glass constantly, started about a month ago. I scrape it clean at night and by morning I can see it forming again. They are like tiny strands of hair I guess.
Let me know what parameters are needed but the tests I think are important are
Nitrate - 0 (according to dropper kit, not got a titration for it but it measures in increments of 5ppm and it doesnt change colour at all)
Phosphate 0.02 - 0.10 - Hanna (these are the lowest and highest readings I have had over the month)
I have read this can be normal, the tank is only 5 months old but wanted your guys input.
