brown algae is not a true algae,brown diatom is caused by silica,phosphates and many other ways,(tap water being the number one source. google brown diotom it will explain in detail.

Brown slime algae. Pretty much part of the healthy nitrogen cycle. Usually one of the first nuisance algae during the cycle. Pimp called diatom, cuz he's an expert...;-)

every thing will get yucky......get some test kits or have your lfs test it for you ,visualy wont tell you shit,other then green/brown algae.even if you have exelent filtration things can go un noticed..
