brown Algae and lighting

FYI, at one point I had 4 powerheads in my 29g. I was able
to later remove those when I installed a closed loop on my
tank. http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html

If the cyano doesn't clear up over time - and it may take 3
weeks or longer - a product called Chemi CLEAN will remove
it in 24 hours. Most LFS will have it in stock, behind the
counter.

I'm going to side with Marc, (always a safe bet g) and recommend
you do a search for cyanobacterium in marine aquaria, and see if
everything fits.

Billy -
Siding with Marc? Humm.....

Joe Cool -
Cyanobacterium or any algae, the best combat tool is to have good
flow of current and good efficient Protein Skimmer that will export
any nutrient out of the tank. Good current flow and Protein Skimmer
[combo] will take care majority of the algae problem.
