algae growth
ive got some rust colour algae growth happening. since ive put in my mh light last week, ive got huge growth of a rust coloured algae on the glass, lr and on the crushed coral (pretty much everywhere)
any ways to control or remove it? water changes? will the growth subside?

I experienced the same thing when I went MH because I didn't adjust my photo period. My friend started out at 4 hours with the same setup as me and he had no algae bloom. I bought a zebra conch to help my issues.
