Brown dusty algae

[rabster]

I'm getting a lot of brown algae dust over the glass of my dt

It is brown

Tank: 244 litres inc sump
Going on 8 weeks
Skimmer
Mp40
Nitrates 0
Phosphates very low waiting on new test kit

Fish
Leopard wrasse
yellow tang
False gramma
2 x clowns
4 hermits
4 snails
1 banded shrimp

Some zoas and an anemone

I tried to let it take hold to burn itself out but while I was out my son cleaned the whole tank!

Any advice appreciated

If you overdose reef energy that can cause it. Maybe!

Is all I can say. brown algae is usually comes with a new tank. or overdosing with elements

I think your right. I didn't know it can happen with overdoses of elements. That's good to know

Appreciate the comments peeps.

Thanks
