Use to have brown algae growing on my sand bed. Even after clearing, it came back after one day. Decided to get sand dollar, star shifter and bringing down po4, my sand bed is so much better now.

+1 or get some slugs

u can get some sand shifting inverts such as sea cucumbers, sand shifting stars, sand dollars to do the job.

May I know where to buy sand dollar ?

stir your sand bed occasionally helps.

DO NOT STIR YOUR SAND BED! get a few sand shifters starfish, golden head gobies, black sea cucumbers , incorporate a refugium growing macro algaes such as Chaetomorpha., ( depending on your tank size... otherwise buy 2 each to start off with- I get mine from Ah Beng) you can get chaetos to seed your refugium , I harvest weekly so would be able to spare some ) furthermore : Turbo snails more for the glass walls...short hair sea urchins will munch on the rocks.

I had similar issues.
Now I run with a chaeto and rowa in my sump.
Sump is getting quite a few gha/ brown algae since I on my lights 16 hrs a day for the sump.
However, very little to no algae at all in my DT.

None on the sandbed.
I would suggest rowa in just a media bag if u cant get a reactor.
