usually brown algae is a sign of poor water quality or high phos. my tank had lots of algae blooms at within the first 4 months too, then one day it totally subsided. i guess you just have to battle it for a while, get your water quality really good and keep it that way. it will eventually go away or at least become less frequent. still, even with perfect water one will have to clean algae off the glass once in a while.
