Need advice how to remove this from my aqua.

the brown looks like just diatoms, it's a perfectly harmless brown spot algae that generally will go away as the tank ages. i wouldn't worry about it unless it persists for more than a couple of months. it will just come back no matter how hard you try to get rid of it (trust me....i've had it in ALL of my new tanks)

Thanks agabr

If they harmless i wont try to remove them.But looks it ugly

agabr123

no problem

lol, yeah it's not the prettiest but if it's the algae i think it is then it's harmless and happens a lot.

i'm looking for a better picture of it for you to compare to make sure that's what it is, but i'm pretty positive

Others opinions ?

In a tank with thick substrate, I have some of that, but it doesn´t bother me at all. I aggree with agabr123 info, it will likely go away in a few weeks. There´s a lot of life going on in our tanks.
