Brown algae

[Clownknife863]

I have had a constant problem with brown algae in my 265. I have had the tank running for around 8 months and it seems every other day I’m having an algae outbreak. I used eco planted aquarium gravel. I have been reducing. The amount of time the lights are in and am doing water changes every three to four days. Any suggestions?

Increase ur lighting if able. Gotta keep scrubbing and consider a algae scrubber and/or phosgaurd.

Yes. One, the other or both.
