I have a 20G freshwater tank with 4 fancy goldfish and a mystery snail. My tank has been around for a year now and I constantly get brownish algae. On every single thing. Even the snail’s shell. It’s on the decorations, the gravel. I scrub it away but it away but it seems to come back tenfold. I used to have plants in my tank until the algae took that over as well, so I’ve stopped buying it. The light in the tank is on during the day and the tank is not in direct sunlight. The occasional scrubbing is ok and comes with cleaning the tank but I’m wondering if there is anything else I can do that will truly help keep this annoying algae at bay.
