Brown Algae On The Plants

Dears

I just starting new planted tank setup since 3 weeks ago ,

CO2 source : cylinder 2 bubbles per second
lighting : 2 T5 ( white & pink ) x 39 W / 6 hr daily
Temperature : 26 c

Water parameters :

PH : 6.8
Ammonia : 0.25
Nitrite : 1
Nitrate : 20
KH : 0
GH: 2

I’m not sure if I have brown alage problem on plants as shown as below , how I can fix this issue please ?

 

It looks like algae dying off from less light (the more light it gets, the more green it becomes). Usually in that 'brown stage' it rubs of fairly easily if you want it gone, or some types of fish (like mollies) or snails or shrimp will happily eat it.

 

Thanks a lot allllien for your reply , so do you expect I need to change the lights for my tank , is 2 x 39 w T5 tubes ( white / pink ) considered weak lights for 160 L Please ?

The problem of brwon algae increases day after day any solutions please ? If eating algae is the solution so I need to bring the type which is good to go with carpets plants and Discus and angelfish any advices please ?

 

It honestly just looks like typical diatoms(brown algae), it will cause no harm to any of your plants. Best way to clean it off plants is honestly just using your fingers. Eventually it will go away on its own, typically all new tanks get diatoms.

It takes awhule to go away. Nerite snails do a wonder when it comes cleaning the brown algae, their pretty hard workers. But don't expect them to go on plants.

If its doesn't just come off with your fingers, do a search on browning plants. Your water is missing something the plant needs.

 

Thank you so much Travis Bradbury any expectations what is the missing in my water maybe the lights ?

I really need urgent help please the brown algae is everywhere in glass , gravel , plants ..... I'm very worry to lost my plants and tank

 

Hows the brown algae going? Mine went away for a week then came back with a vengance. My lights was on for over 16 hours a day for the past 3 days due to work schedule. So algae was expected But I thought I'd get green algae not brown. I got my lights on automation now so I can turn my lights on/off on my phone and even set schedules and cut it down to 8 hours a day to see if it goes away. Prolly take awhile. Have you tried any algae medicine?
