I have this peach fuzzy type of algae on some areas of my rocks and I have had it for some time and can't seem to get rid of it, anyone know if it's a normal thing or some kind of bacterial outbreak or just nutrients. I also keep getting this brown algae on my power heads and nowhere else. I have attached pictures of both please help if you can. Sorry for the sideways pics, not sure why they imported like this.

The white fuzz looks like that bacterial growth from carbon dosing. The brown stuff on the other hand I have no idea on.

I have another post about how to cure a bacteria bloom, but would you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
