Brown algae is starting in my tank, I have 2 Clowns, Royal Gramma, 3 small Damsels, small Regal Tang and a Cleaner Shrimp, 4 Softie Corals, do I need to do anything or just let it run its course? Obviously still do my weekly water changes.

Let it run course. You will see plenty of uglies along the way.

Reducing light timers will help with diatoms.

It will just come back. Your first 6 months will be all kinds of different color algae. Just expect it and keep an eye on livestock to make sure they look healthy
