ok so it turned from green to dark brown rubbery. growing some light green strings near the pipe so i gotta think its to much light now? gona try 4 23w cfl 4" from screen lit 12/12. was doing 3" from screen 18/6. screen is 7x7 lit area its a little bigger but top 1" is smooth and try to keep clean and has 1" in water.
Nope, to much light is yellow algae. Brown algae is not enough light. It just might grow in, bump up the light an hour or two (optional) this time around and see how it goes or just let it be until the next time.

It's probably just adapting to the higher light intensity, I would give it another week or two where it is.
ok ill just leave it and clean it every few days as it gets brown and see what happens.
I know people are saying different things but i have the same problem. My screen grew lime green thick every 4 days until last week when my nitrates went to 0 this week my nitrates are undetectable and my p04 is 0.2 and climbing, no change to anything. I cant say high wattage could fix it as im running floyds scrubber with overkill led power and 12 hours on it goes yellow if i go anymore. A friend of mine said feed more coral snow as it will increase nitrates alot more than phos? As a result slowly recently golden brown is starting to grow on my rocks and sand.
Something is weak, somewhere.
