i have a few pieces of drift wood in the tank and have noticed fluffy brown algea on it !!
is this normal for this to happen??
should i be worried??

i did buy the wood from my LFS so it was properly treated etc
and i did thoroughly wash it as well..

Q2, should it be completely clean all the time??

so vacuum it off it is

My plec used to clean mine and do a very good job of it but after 7yrs of cleaning he went to the big fish tank in the sky.my drift wood is a fair bit small with all its chompimg. Now I just leave it. to me it looks natural. maybe when its really bad i will scrub it. I done the rocks with a jet wash. clean water and they were as good as new.
