It doesn't look very brown at all although this tank is newly setup.
PH 6.2
KH and GH around 4-5
Dosing EI with pressurized co2.
27 watt fluorescent over 5.5 gallon.
I fear it is rhizo - it has also been making some of the leaves of the HC go grey and fall off, and even whole stems are just being held in place by the algae now.
It started off just on the substrate but as the HC grew in thick the algae moved up onto the HC.
Sorry for making a new thread, I've searched high and low all over google and on this forum and can't make a positive ID with my own eyes after seing countless pictures of Rhizo that looked to me like Diatoms and Diatoms which to me looked like Rhizo.
Will try to get more pictures with my macro lens in a minute.
