    question about nuisance algae

    So ive been running my atf for a few weeks now and all my nutrients are at zero. Algae is starting to grow everywhere in the tank. The only growth I am getting on the screen is that thin layer of brown algae like I did in the beginning. I have plenty of light and flow. should I just be more patient and see if things work themselves out?
