Hello, My Tank Is Crashing. Everything Is Covered With Brown Algea And Growth Is Minimal. Everything Was Perfect For Months. What Would Cause It To Suddenly Go South?

I Am Still Dosing As You All Suggested 1/2 Teaspoon Kno3

1/8 Smb 1/8 Mono Phasphate

6 Hours Of Light

Good Co2

Brown algae often comes from insufficient light, and you are supplying only 6 hours a day.

I suggest that you remove the algae manually and increase the light to 10 hours a day.

1/8 of K2SO4 wouldn't hurt things either.

What's your magnesium and calcium look like?

Any pictures by chance?
