i just had some of this, but it was because my co2 levels dropped. what i did was i removed it manually and upped the co2 levels, maybe you can find some info on it here http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/algae.htm

Thank you. I think it's clado, I have less of them now, but they are quite stubborn especially when the get between moss and HC.

Whatever the algae is,, Hair type though ,, I have to see it doesn't look all that bad amongst the plants in small doses..

I have found that Tetra Algae Control works well on this type of algae and it's not too expensive. I had a breakout that kept coming back in my Java Fern. Just follow the directions exactly and make sure to do heavy water changes at the end of each dosing period. It takes a little while, and I would recommend a few additional doses even after all visible algae is gone. Mine was in a ten gallon tank and it took about a month to disapear, but I dosed for an additional week or so. I have also heard from a guy at work that turning the lights on and off in four hour increments will eliminate algae because they can not use the light properly, but I have never tried this method.
