Can anyone tell me what the algae is that usually covers plants like anubius and swords , you know the dark brown stuff thats a nightmare to get off . How do you stop it in the first place . And diatoms how do you stop this stuff too ???
 
well the brown algae usually covering everything at the early stages of an aquaruim is brown algae or diatomic algae :) hehe you already know what it is :)

its a common and actually for me normal algae since it SHOULD only appear in the first few weeks when you setup a new tank. You could just lightly wipe it away and if your tank parameters are good it will just dissapear.
