Brown algea occurs through lack of light. Is the tank lit at all ?

if it's just in the filters, and it's freshwater, than it's probably just a build up of your anerobic bacteria, and should not be destroyed. rinse any filter media or parts in water from the tank,(not tap water). you may have to do a water change to get the water to rinse it in, but it's good for the tank. that way your filter is mechanically clean but the good bacteria is still alive. (the chlorine in tap water will kill all this bacteria, hence, no tap water).
The pond behind my work has 5 alligators in it. Lately a company has been going out there & spraying a chemical to kill the plant life & algae in the water. Is this harmful to the gators & other wildlife that live by the pond?

I just heard someone say that algae is beautiful. Is this true or are they just out of their mind or what?

How do you change the water? i change the filter on a weekly basis and the water temp is in the acceptable range of mid 70's. what do i add to keep the algae down? it was a gift to my daughter from her grandfather and i didnt want it for this exact reason

My 55 gallon tank has developed a recurring buildup of light brown mucously slime in the filters, I replace/clean the filters weekly but it keeps coming back. It doesn't look like algae. What is it and how do I get rid of it?
