Glass Algae

[Mhumbach]

I have a newer tank it’s been up and cycled for 5 months and recently I’ve been cleaning my glass everyday from a brown algae film. I’ve been in the hobby before and haven’t had this happen but here are my parameters and what filtration methods I’m running.

NO3- 2.7 on Hanna 1.9 on trident
Po4- .02 on Hanna .02 on trident
ALK- 8.1
Cal- 483
Mag- 1267

I have a 150.4 Infinia water box which is like 140G total
1200 reefmat
Reef octopus 200int

Every tank develops a unique biome. The brown film might be diatoms or it could be the start of dinos - your nutrients are extremely low.
