Can you provide more details about what you are seeing that is a problem? Or better, post a picture of the problem?

My tanks had brown algae at first. The tank is going through it's cycle. Eventually it will turn into green algae. All I did is I put a couple of green chromis to start with until the green algae show up. All I did was I scrub off the brown algae and when I do water change, I sipher them out from the bottom. Good luck!
