I'm getting this brown stuff on my aquarium glass and decorations. It wipes off easily but it is very annoying. Does anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it?? Heres a picture of one of my tank decorations...

Any help will be appreciated.

I think your problem is the diatom/brown algae. Keep all this mind to get rid of this stuff. Brown algae don't need light to grow as the regular algae. The problem with the diatoms is that they can't be removed by simply leaving the lights off. Make sure that your tank has a good filter system. Also have some water movement in your tank as diatoms are bad swimmers.
Hope this could help you.

Reminds me of a carton. A skeleton is sitting by a phone and the phone say "Thank you for holding, your call is important........."

LOL.
