I noticed that all a majority of my sleet rock in my tank have large brown patches on them. I just took them out and washed them off and it went away, but does anybody have any idea on what this could be? im guessing most likely some kind of algae?Anybody else ever have this. oh and its also growing on some of my plants
 
Brown Algae :) I find it a little slower growing, and more difficult to remove but otherwise a minor thing, just particularly unsightly.
 
Sorry, I couldn't read your entire question because your avatar is too distracting.
 
I believe brown algae is a sign of high nitrates... I think that is what it is but I know it is common is newer tanks, less then a year...
