Brown algae???

[OlaNowak]

Can anyone confirm that this is brown (diatoms) algae? If so, what is the best way to get rid of it? Thanks.

I can't really determine with any certainly what the growth is. Bristlenose Plecos keep algae in check in all my tanks. I'm sure the addition of one in your tank would be a big help.

I've got two of those plecos but still can not manege the algae or whatever that is. I have it for a while. Used H2O2 couple months ago and it was gone for a while but it is back again ?

Okay. I think I see what you are describing. I believe the growth on the top plant is Staghorn Algae. I used to get it on Java Fern. I couldnt totally get rid of it, but rubbed some of it off with my fingers. Maybe one of our aqua gardeners will have a better removal method.

I agree with stag horn. It is a hard one. Removing infected leaves is typically recommended.
