Hi,
My plants (Crypts and Anubias) have recently starting being overcome by the algae in the picture I am attaching. This is as unblurry as I was able to get it, hopefully someone can ID this algae and provide some ideas on how to get rid of it. It is thick, short black hairlike growth. It seems to be destroying the plants. It's also attaching itself to my heater and my canister filter outflow pipe.
I have 2 marineland single bright LEDs, once on each side, that run on a timer from 10 AM to 6 PM. The tank is a 40 gallon long. The otto catfish and L-183 plecos don't seem interested at all in eating this algae.
Thank you all for your help and wisdom!!
