1.By scaping/scrubbing it off
2.By adding fish to the tank to clean the algae
3.Add lots of plants so the algae doesn't grow as well.

I recently started having a brown algae problem. My tank has been established for over a year and while some brown algae used to appear occassionally it was never that bad. Now within two weeks of w...
Mystery snails are good algae eaters, and it's easy to control their population. They lay their eggs in a big glob above water; it looks kind of like a wasp nest. Bristle Nose Plecos are also goo...
To survive, algae needs light and food. Too much algae means you could be over feeding or using too much light. Live plants will use some of the nutrients that would otherwise support algae growth.
From what I can see in the picture, it could be hair algae. Spores of algae travel through the air, so it's nearly impossible to keep them out of an aquarium. The best way to control algae is to ...

It's pretty easy to wipe off brown algae..as it is like a fine powder..just basically brushes away....but still a pain to see all over the tank.
