Scraping brown algae off the glass of a 2 month old tank - yes or no?

[Dinwooj]

I know brown algae is a part of many new tanks and not an issue, but wondering whether it is worth scraping off the glass so the tank looks more appealing? Will this unsettle the water parameters or am I ok to go ahead?

No problem in doing so, has your diatoms stage just started?

Keeping the maintenance up and not letting it go wild is good!

Good practice. Go for it.

I am big on scraping the glass every couple days. Can’t stand looking in a hazy tank. I scrape the back glass as well
