What type of algae is that

[jacpaq2000]

I am starting to get an algae problem on the walls of my tank. It is a bunch of little round greenish brown dots that won't scrub off. I have no idea what it is and any help with and ID or how to get rid of it would be great. Preferably what livestock I could buy that might eat it. Thanks!

Yeah this really isn't a problem. It's just gonna happen. You could buy a really nice mag float like seaweed (I'm jealous) or buy a huge razor blade scraper from the hardware store. It'll come off pretty easy. Aside from getting your arm wet I wouldn't worry about it.
