Should I scrub off all the algae in my tank?

[gcis]

Ok, so I just got my stock of plants for my 55 gallon and I was wondering if I should take all of my decorations out and scrub them off of any algae that is on them and vacuum the substrate, etc. before I plant my new stock?

depends on the algae.

Brown algae-dont worry bout it

Spot algae- i wouldnt worry.

Green water-dont worry

Anything else try to get rid of it.
