Hey all,
I'm pretty new to the aquarium scene, so forgive any ignorance :unsure
My tank is about 4 weeks old now, salt water, 72 gallon, 35 lbs of live rock, 80 lbs of white sand, 20 lbs of live sand mixed in, all levels are good, 2 green chromis', my cleaning crew consists of 5 turbo snails, a tuxedo urchin, a zebra hermit crab, and 2 blue legged hermit crabs (well possibly one now, my zebra jacked one's shell and now i can't find him anywhere). Anyway all of a sudden I have an enormous amount of brown algae on my live rock and sand and with my current cleaning crew it doesn't seem to be diminishing. What is the best/fastest way to get rid of all this brown algae and get my tank looking pretty again?
Thanks for any advice.
