I have a 10 gallon set up for almost 8 months, I have a bloom of brown algae , especially all over glass . I clean everyday and it comes back in a few hours . Some area i see its stringy . I noticed this started when i switched the my chemipure and purigen in my filter . I just have one shrimp so I don’t really feed the tank often .

Could be diatoms.. Have you been over feeding? Or changed your water source lately?

 

Get an efficient CUC, watch over feeding, a glass scrapper and make sure you keep up your husbandry, then that will dissapear in no time.

 

Edit: Just read the post again, for some reasons I only looked at the pic but your post already answered my question. I’ll leave the original text, just in case.
