anyone ever let brown algae cover all sides of aquarium?

I am just wondering if anyone has done this and has some pictures. I was thinking about how it could stop alot of glare from my tank as well as keep nitrates lower as its a growing organism.

i just have no clue if it will look like trash or not

Front panel would be kept clean and maybe one of the sides closest to my desk.

If the algae were green it would look perhaps better. I let it grow on the bottom of my bare-tank once just to see. The fish didn't mind, but after a while, I couldn't take it any longer and went for the clean look.

I really don't mind the algae it is excellent for fry. None of my aquariums have that squeaky clean appearance but like stated earlier that's by choice.

Ive tried. Scraped a few smudges of algae off the glass a few months ago. First time in a decade. Still barely a trace of algae

Not the best quality, but here's some brown algae that's been growing. The snails munch on it some...
