I’ve had his tank for a while and there have always been these algae spots on the glass. I am able to get the green ones off but the brown are very hard and even if I spent the day scrubbing it I don’t think it would all come off . Any tips what should I do ?

Hi! Would you say that the spots are brown, or more of an orange?
