    I have the same test kit, and those are my exact results, are sure the algae is brown diatom? or does it look slimy like? if your chiller is keeping the water temp. below 76ºf
    could be your problem since your tank inhabitants be less active, then again if your temp is higher than 79ºf or so the bio load be greater for the higher tank mate activeness.
