Hi all. I have a 2 month old tank going through the uglies. Most recently I have some hair algae coming in I'm removing manually, and this very hard mineral-like red-brown algae coming in in spots.
It's particularly noticeable on the back wall which I foolishly plastidipped white in anticipation of this having been a freshwater aquascape.
The spots require significant force to scrape off- maybe close to enough to scrape off the plastidip with it.
I figure it's inevitable the back wall gets coated so I was thinking of leaving it. I'm removing the hair algae which comes off much more easily.
Will I regret leaving it there? I see folks talking about scraping their back walls regularly including the stuff that requires a razor.
