I have hada sudden break out of algea in my planted tank, all was fine until i noticed small sprouts of black algae coming off my anubias, its now spreading to other plants and getting worse.

I also hae floating riccia which is pearling nicely, but on the underside getting long strands of brown algae which is clumping up and looking bad.

I do a 35- 40% water change every week, and have c02 injection.

Havent tested the water yet, but will do tonight.

Any ideas how to stop the algae?
