being new to the hobby i don't know much about algea. every 3 or 4 days i clean the front of my tank with a scrubber to get brown algea off. it comes off very easy,but it is a thin layer over the entire front. is this normal or do i need to work on water quality or get more snails. the other 3 sides of the tank i let go cuz i was told that my fish would love it. did i get correct info on the 3 sides i don.t clean? will it compromise the health of my corals or anemone? is this algea groth to fast?
