As the title states, I have brown diatom algae all over one of my tanks! I actually think it's starting to grow in a 2nd tank as well...
It's taken over my 5.5 g betta tank which has been running for 5 months and been cycled longer. I don't know what it would show u now, unless it's my light.
I was stupid and accidentally bought 2 of these:

I missed the part where it said Marine light, but it was growing my Ludwigia and Ammannia gracilis so well! Now they are all covered in brown algae and I have no clue what to do to get rid of it! I've tried black outs, cleaning but it doesn't come off 100%. I thought after a while it would go away on its own but it's been well over a month now!
