Seems honeymoon's over and I got algae. well 2 sorts of it.
1st (it's not on the glass though it might look like it is):

This one is on the substrate. looks very similar in color to the small spirulina pellets I tried to feed on the discus. Its dark green in color. I could be mistaken that it's the pellets though.

Possibly brown algae according to this site => http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/algae.htm
It is light/dark brown. seems to be spreading on the substrate and there are patches on the glass.
The link (theplantedtank.co.uk) I mentioned has suggested a treatment of sorts for the brown algae if my guess is right. Should I just follow it? Any ideas for the "dark green" algae?
Thank you very much
