About two weeks ago I set up my 48"x18"x18" tank and right now all my =
plants are covered in some brown coating and some also has hairlike =
brown growth and there's lots of brown particles in the water.  Can =
someone tell me if the brown coating is brown algae?  How can I get rid =
of them?

Thanks in advance
