once you see an ammonia spike you can remove it.

is brown algae a good thing

 

[emporer angel]

not really. its not beneficial or harmful. it tends to happen in newer setups.

 

[rdosr]

should i do a water change

 

[bigarn]

no water change until the tank cycles.

 

[emporer angel]

you can just scrub it off. its no big deal
