I have been battling this nuisance algae. It’s colored brown it’s easy at times to peel off. If I can get identification, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to see if anyone knows how to get rid of it. I’ve listed my current parameters below.

No3 14
Po4 .21
Alk 8.7
Salinity 1.026
Cal 420
Mag 1290

Feed mainly frozen Hakari Brine, spirulina mysis shrimp and regular mysis shrimp and Mega Marine. I don’t rinse the frozen food.

Lights are on a 12 hour photo period.
