dots on the glass

so i have many different spots on my glass!
i stopped cleaning the inside of my glass 2 months ago, is this a good or bad idea?

 

what color are the spots?

 

and how big are they?

could be pods, baby snails, flatworms or some type of algae.

 

If they are like lime green in color and you have cleaned the glass in two months it's probably just coralline algae. It starts off as lime green spots and will then spread so that it’s a film of green. Then slowly red/orange/purple spots will start appearing over the green and this in turn will spread so little to no green is left. It's not a huge concern if they are still spots. Just give them a little elbow grease with whatever you use to clean the glass. If you wait you will have a problem. It will start to obscure your view when it spreads. It also is very tought stuff. Spots you can wipe out without too much strain, but anymore than a spot and you will be in for some work. May even have to use a razor blade if it gets to hard. I personally clean the sides and front once a week to prevent the algae from growing and will have to scrub the green spots a little harder and longer before they come off. The back of the tank I don't touch because I like the way it looks. Some people don't like it at all and will clean all the glass. So, as far as what you should clean is up to you. All in all though your tank is doing great if you are getting this to grow without even attempting to do so!!!

 

the spots are white dots/specks!
i have coraline algae, about the size of a loonie!
the white dots look like tiny spider nests, ima get a pic soon
some spots never move while others seem to scurry when i turn the light on.

 

Most likely copepods or spirobid worms. Both harmless, no better yet beneficial.
As long as they are not brown with a little dove tail shape at one end, that would be a flatworm and can reach plague proportions in some tanks.

Happy reefing!
