I'm not sure if borax will help algae or not. I found this link that you should look at, especially the risks at the bottom: http://chemistry.about.com/od/howthingsworkfaqs/a/howboraxworks.htm I have been using a product from BioWorld Products that has been working really well. It is very safe for plants, animals and humans. Depending on where your algae is, you might want to consider their product! http://www.adbio.com/site_maps/algae.htm

How do you remove the brownish green sludge from the scenery in a fish tank?

If the substance you are refering to is algae and the scenery is moveable you can simply remove the algae covered items and scrub them in clean water. If you are refering to an algae slime on the substrate then you can remove it simply by syphoning it into a container for disposal. If the algae is on plants then having a few algae eating fish species like plecostomus or mollys in there will help keep it under control. Excess algae is usually caused by too much light for too long.
