I originally had a white light with an Aqua Coral. Then that Aqua Coral one blew, so I tried a Marine Glo. I am blaming that Marine Glo on turning my 35 gallon tank brown. I then bought a Coral Life, and thinks are getting back to normal again. As for the clean up crew, all I have is six...

I have a Marine Glo light and the rating on the package is 'Regular' intensity. Should I get the Marine Glo light that has 'High' intensity?? Ever since this 'regular' intensity I have been having a brown algae problem. Will the higher intensity help??

Okay, so what is the fix?? The brown algae needs to be cleaned off the glass daily. And all of my live rock is now brown.

So, do I have a light problem. Remember that this brown algae happened after the new light.

pH is 8.2 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Sallnity 1.020 I am using tap water with stress coat as I always have. And the only thing I have done lately is replace the burnt out bulb.
