What's the brown stuff on my glass?

[kjordan]

Not sure if you can see it, but it's the brown stuff in the left lower hand side of the tank. It's also some on the back wall. Started a couple days ago. Tank about 1 month old.

just a normal algae bloom of diatoms.

Do I scrape it off or do I let the snails get it?

[jecarl2]

I,d scrape it off of the areas you view your tank. (front sides) there will be enough on the back of you glass for the snails.
