hi everyone, I'm getting ready to do so maintance on my tank and had a quick question on the diatoms that ugly brown stuff. i have read a few threads on this and i know it will go away in time, but my question is can i scrub my LR with a stiff bristal tooth brush and not do any damage to them?

You COULD as long as you keep them in SW while you do it. Better idea is just to take a PH and blow everything off the rocks that will come off and siphon it out while you do your water change.
Scrubbing the rock will probably kill any of the little things you'd want on the rock i.e. sponges, worms, "no see ums" etc.
