Are you having any fish in your tank right now?
If you are, then you cannot add ammonia as it will kill your fish.
Continue to do large water changes to keep the ammonia & nitrite to 0 if you have fish in it.
By the way, the brown algae on your tank wall is called diatom. You can remove them easily by using a paper towel.
As long as you have light, algae will grow in your tank.
You can only reduce algae by cutting down on the light(the number of hours that you turned it on).
By changing water every week(large water - more than 60%), you can also reduce the waste in the tank that contribute to algae growth.
Lastly, in the future, you can keep some algae eating fish or snails to reduce the algae to the minimum.
