Hi.

I have a small area of my florite where this algea is growing.

http://idoneous.net/images/75_tank/algea.jpg

i have no other algea problems to speak of at all. My large Angelfish do
eat the stuff. I have never seen the Ottos, Whiptail, or Farowellas eating
it. How can I get rid of it? I'm sure I can just scoop it out too. Would
a particular water condition cause this to grow? What else do you need to
know?

PH = 6.9
KH = 2
Nitrate = ~10ppm
Nitite = 0
Ammonia = 0

Do you use CO2?(if so, add 3x more).

It's likely a Cladophora.
Some barbs etc will eat it and Amano shrimp also but Angels will alson
eat shimp.....

You can simply rotate the gravel on the top below. This will rob the
algae of light. Take 1-2" off the top and bring the stuff below up to
replace this.
