Reefing newb
I have had my 75 gallon set up and running for about five months now. Within the last month or so I would get a film of green algae on the glass daily. Within the last week or two the green algae has turned to brown. I could scrape the glass off two times a day if I wanted to to keep it clear, that's how fast it grows. I don't have strong lights, only a 216 watt T5. I am using distilled water as I haven't gotten a RO/DI system yet. Is the tank just going through a phase which I have read happens to new tanks or is there something I can do to stop the algae grwoing on the glass?
