Turbo Twist is about roughly 3 years or so old. It is a line that is marketed under Coralife, but I doubt they directly manufacture them.
You can get rid of brown algae several ways. The most efficient way is to clean up your water.
Whether through more skimming, more carbon, more waterchanges, rinsing fish food, using RO water instead of tap, changing filterpads less often, not overstocking, etc. Increased water flow can work wonders in helping already good filtration.
Algae grows because you give it something to "feed" off of.
If your water isn't clean, you'll grow nice green algae and have a very undesireable tank. Clean your water up and you'll make it much more enjoyable.
