[joshr]

Ok, As most know I just got my tank running 3 weeks ago and then got my 22lbs of LR.
Right now here are my perimeters
Nitrate-0
Nitrite-5
PH-8.2
I have a 24gallon CUrrent USA aquapod non HQI and currently have 22 blue legged hermits.
Over the past weeks my rock has been getting a little darker and there have been alot of "Brown algae" Is this good???

Brown algae is a really easy algae to maintain. It isnt very hard to scrape off at all in my experience. It isnt bad and it isnt good either just scrape it off regularly and make sure that it doesnt get out of hand.
