Question about algae booms.

[mmync]

I am going thru my algae boom right now. I can pretty much guess that it is normal for everything to turn brown, but my corals are starting to turn really brown also. IS this normal or bad for them? Also What can I do to to reduce this nasty brown stuff, or do I just have to wait it out?

Really not a whole lot you can do except wait it out.
If your cycle is compleatly done,water changes may help,but unlikly.
You really should have waited till this phase was through before you started introducing corals to the system.
But it's too late now.
Good luck,and patience my son!!!!!!

You can take a look into getting some inverts that might control some of the algae like snails, blue legged/hermit crabs and maybe a LM Blenny if you have alot of algae.
I also went through several algae blooms at the beginning due to excess nutrients or a change in stronger lighting. I didn't realize it but too much algae during the bloom will kill your coral(s) so be careful and do some water changes.
