I have a nice crop of brown spot algae in my 55gal tank, will Corries take care of it for me? The algae is growing on rocks, driftwood, and plants.
If they won't what would?
The CAE isn't touching it at all and the 2 ghost shrimp don't seem to be doing much for it either.
The tank gets indirect sunlight from dawn till 10:00am, from 10:00am till 2:00am the tank has 130watts suspended about 8 inches above the tank(8 inches from water to bottom of bulbs).
My 10 gal doesn't have this problem, it has 2 corries and 4 shrimp and doesn't get the indirect sunlight, it currently has a reptile light over it for the 10-2 time frame, the lights are on a timer.

Any suggestions?

I've battled brown algae in my tank for monthes.The corys wont touch it.The only thing that helps is reducing the amount of light.Maybe changing your light from 10am to 10pm,or loss the sunlight.

I agree^^^

The only long term solution is less light, or a lot of manual cleaning :)

Here are some pictures of it.









Is it really brown algae or just dirt? It comes off of the rocks with the gravel vac.
