    Hmmmm....I just noticed I did post here before a long time ago for a different algae problem. Now that I read it I remember. I'm still not sure how this forum works, so please excuse me! Thanks!

    Try the "Ultimate Algae Thread" in the algae section of the forum. Good pictures and lots of information.

    You are getting the dreaded Green hair algae. Cut back on how often and how much you are feeding and add a phosphate reactor ASAP. Also, what type lights do you have and how old are they?
