Default Floating Algae

Both of my tanks are suffering with some kind of floating algae. It builds
up over 3 or 4 days till the whole surface is covered in it. It can be
removed (mostly) by just skimming the surface off using a jar but its a bit
tedious. No other major Algae problems in either tank, Nitrates &
Phosphates are low, water is clear & the surface movement is much the same
as it has been for ages (years even!). Fish are fine & don't seem to care.

On close examination it seems to be made up of tiny strands less than 1mm in
length.

Anyone have any cluses as to how to get rid of it?
