I've got a planted tank and there is some brown green (more brown than green algae) growing on some of the plants. I've wiped the plants off and did a complete water change (75%) and and also 2 small water changes (25%) over the past 3 1/2 weeks. This is my first tank, well it's my sons tank that I take care of. Fish are doing fine. I wish I could add pics to show everyone.
Does anyone have any suggestions? If need be I'll send some pics.

Thanks,
Just a Dad spending time with his kids.

as for brown algae, it seems you have diatom algae. 

Diatoms Excess silicates, Low light Wait, add catfish, use RO water/sponge
