Does this sound familiar?

"Brown algae:
Forms in soft brown clumpy patches. In the freshwater aquarium, these are usually diatoms. Usually indicates a lack of light or an excess of silicates. Increased light levels will usually make it disappear. Easily removed by wiping the glass or siphon vacuuming the affected area."

BGA isn't hard to get rid of, it's just creepy looking. Usually, it's an indicator of low nitrate levels ('cause the nitrates are being consumed by the plants). I've had it myself, and used Tom Barr's approach to de-powering it.
