First of all my tank is 5 weeks old. It has 80 lbs LS and 50/20 LR/BR. Two powersweep PH 228s and one Penguin 550 PH for circulation. A Turboflotor 1000 PS for filtration and a medium sized patch of calupera.
I used a powerhead to remove as much brown algae as I could from my LR today, cleaned the glass, siphoned out 5 gallons of the water, and replaced it with 5 gallons of aged/aerated saltwater.
The only inhabitants in my tank are 4 astrea snails and a large CB.
Is what I did ok to do once a week for the brown algae problem?
Also, I usually do a 10% water change every Saturday instead of a 25% to 50 percent once a month. Isn't this better for my tank.
