What is this. And how do i get rid?

Sick of having to scrub hard to remove it. Will it pass or will i constantly have to clean my glass? The brown specs on the glass.

Can't see anything in the pic, but it sounds like you're describing coraline algae. As long as you have a healthy reef, it'll grow!!!

yes you will have to clean the glass if you want to look through it. it could be diatoms or coralline starting. but yes you have to clean it.

You will have to clean glass about once a week or it will become opaque

I clean my glass just about everyday. Get a magnifloat, and they make scrubbing sleeves for them. It's not a big deal.

If you don't mind spending a little extra money get the Tunze glass cleaner. It's far superior to anything I've used in the last 20 years.

I don't know what size your tank is but here's the one I use on my 29gal BioCube. They make bigger ones.
