Hi,
I have a 30G reef aquarium setup as room divider (small house), setup for a year and a bit, everything I have in seems to be fine I am running a overflose to a 10Gal (refugium/sump) with live rock and charcoal/phosban mixture and a skimmer. I turn the lights on sump at night after tank light go out.
Lately the last week I have started to get brown algae on gravel? I am running Two aualight flouresent light that give me 150W lighting. What is causing brown algae. (also using filtered bottled water for water changes)
Jim

It might be time to change the bulbs on your lights
