Yes algae is common in new setups, whether it be brown algae, hair algae, green spot or whatever. Algae is unavoidable in fishtanks, no matter how hard you try. In new setups, algae may bloom because your tank is unbalanced. Its normal and once the tank settles, it will start to disappear. Depending on the type, you may need to remove as much as possible as some are more resistant than others. Can you describe it?
