hi all.
There is this rust looking stuff on my plants leaves and spots on the tank.
i looked this up on the net and apparantly it is brown algea? and that it is harmless and will eventually go away.
However its killing my plants!. my Corkscrew Val is loosing leaves to this "rust", my java fern doesnt seem to be affected by it and my Hygrophila Polysperma's are the worse hit by them. All of their leaves r covered except for the few newest top ones. I also cant rub this rust off of the leaves as easily as i could a couple of days ago, actually i cant rub it off at all because the leaves feel so thin and weak due to the rust.
does anyone know how to get rid of it or shed any light about this "rust"
p.s i also just bought a wonderful anubius on driftwood today and if i find this rust on it.. game on algea!
