Buy 65 otto cats.... 1 per gallon.
In 3 days your brown algae will be gone.
After your algae gets eaten all up, make sure you throw a few algae wafers in your tank as so you don't murder them all.
and, if your tank is not cycled properly, I would cut down the ratio of ottos.
Get 20 or 30. They are very small and produce little waste.

Ottos are real small half inch in size.... and they do not live long.
They cost about $2 each, they like to school and they are pretty invisible looking.
There waste is minute and they LOVE brown algae.
Plecos are bigger, and become bigger, even a bushy nose pleco.
ottos clean house!
they rule.

depends on what kind of algae you have.
Brown diatoms? Or hair algae?
Tell me what kind of algae you have and I can tell you what fish will help.
