Tank has been running since mid January I guess, it was set up before that with the big rocks in it and the blood parrot but I took all the gravel and everything out and washed it because I wanted black gravel and started over.
The size, it's a 38 gallon, the lighting stays on from 9am-9pm on a timer everyday. The light is the one that came on it, it's just one long strip light.
I don't check the PH and I don't know what KH and GH are... I do a 25% water change once every other week. My goal is to get a little bit of green algae, I'm working today (Petco) so I'll take a sample and get the PH and post it tonight. Sorry I didn't give this info earlier.

I threw a "Jungle No More Algae" tank buddies tablet in there last night and scraped all the brown algae off the glass in hopes of eliminating it. Again... I don't want the brown, I want green. I can get green algae from work and introduce it to my tank if I need to, just wondering what else I need to change to keep the green and no more brown. Thanks.
