I guess you're right. Mine is low light now and few of my plants have these brown algae. I found that they tend to grow on older leaves (really?). I have a flying fox but thay guy only scrape those on the aquarium walls. very seldom scraping those on the leaves. Can see the mouth marks left on the walls and leaves.

I also use Tetra FloraPride. Is this fertilizer really encouraging brown algae growth? Is high light really kill/disallow them growing? If so, how many watt per litre show it be?
