I want to know how I can stop or if I can get rid of the reddish brown crusty spots on my glass. Just whats causing them? I have a 75gal tank with 40-50 lbs of LR and 170# LS with some hermits and other little slug type creatures in it. I have only 1 fish at the time, a clown. This stuff is really hard to clean especially off my powerheads.

Plus, I have a problem with snails getting caught up in my powerheads and dying. Is there anything I can put on them keeping this from happening again?:(

A razor blade or an old credit card are probably the easiest tools for removing unwanted substances from glass.

As for the snail VS. powerhead problem, you can put small sponges over the intakes. What kind of powerheads do you have?
