    I think the higher wattage bulbs will work much better. Give them a couple weeks and see, if still brown bump up the hours a couple every two weeks until it starts to get green. Also be sure you the proper flow of 35 GHP as SM posted above. How big is the screen?

    10G. SW Fish/Reef.
    10G. SW Hospital/new fish quarantine/pod breeder tank

    The screen is 10"x13"
    Is 35mph the minimum or can you have too much flow?

    Thats a HUGE screen, do you feed more then 3 cubes a day? 3 cubes only needs 36" (6x6). Also your screen may need to be a lot rougher. You can have more then 35 but be careful as 35 is really good. Also your screen is way to big for your light, cutting down to 6x6 would grow a ton more algae and filter better.
