Posted	brown algae
19-12-2006 19:00 by nelly	just had a small break out of brown algae on some of my living rock,never had this before my nano has been running for about a year.Only think different is i rescued a tang and put him in temp just till hes settled any body help just done a water change but any advice would be greatful..
20-12-2006 09:37 by Alan	Whats the nitrate and phosphate like cause is probably there the addition of the tang will of uped the bio load a fair bit in a nano. How big is your nano and what tang have you added?
20-12-2006 16:21 by nelly	Hi Alan tang added is a brown tang,my nano is 18x18x18 inches,done another water change today,nitrate down to normal,like i said the tang i suspected might be the problem,lovely fellow very friendly will probably take out as not had any problems before.The only fish in there are 2 clowns and a humbug all only about an inch long.More interested in my corals.Will keep an eye out.Thanks again Alan for giving me some advice.Regards Neil.
21-12-2006 09:57 by Alan	From memory the brown sailfin tang can get to 18" long it is one of the bigger tangs might be way off on max size but either way your tank is definately not big enough for a tang like this long term.
21-12-2006 21:22 by nelly	Hes about 4 inch long will be taking him out tommorrow,have arranged with lfs will be swapping it for some polys,soft corals etc.Thanks again Alan.
