Get a fish that eats algae like a plec or some otos. Alternately, you can get an algae magnet or some snails.
The brown algae is a bugger to shift, just keep at it. (I hope you don't have an acrylic tank!)
Bristlenose plecs seem to like it and shift it easily, not tried ottos.

Your bristlenose is obviously a slacker. Dock him a day's pay if he doesn't buckle down and get on with the job.
The only other option is an algae scrubber and liberal applications of elbow grease.

Could i use a toothbrush to get it off? It wouldnt scratch the glass would it?
Toothbrush. Interesting idea. Should be fine I'd have thought. Glass is pretty hard to scratch IME.

Use a razor blade it works like a charm just dont go near the corners or you will have a problem 
Good advice. I've used a stanley-knife blade for stubborn spots in the past. Works like a dream.Final Dynazty said:Use a razor blade it works like a charm just dont go near the corners or you will have a problem
Do NOT use on acrylic tanks!
