Hello everyone, I would like to ask about a brown algae that grew on my algae scrubber. The one on the picture is one week production of algae from my scrubber. Does anybody know when will it turn green?

I don't think it matters what type of algae is growing,  It's the fact that it's consuming nutrients, which are exported whenever you scrape off a portion of the algae, that's important.  It might eventually turn as conditions favor one type of algae over another, but I don't think that's important.

Oh ok. So even though its not green it will still consume nutrients. I just really thought its the green algae that consumes nutrients.
