Brown Alge ???

[TomSeaman]

How can I get rid of the brown Alge in my tank? My tank has been set-up for about 7 weeks now. I use DI water for Make-up and water changes. HELP!

You can wait it out. It's part of the normal cycle.

Exactly. To see brown algae is normal during a tanks cycle and even some time after the cycle. I wouldn't bother taking any special steps to remove it; keep up with the normal maintanence and give it a bit of time, it will clear out.

Here's a search that I performed on diatoms if your interested in doing some reading.
