It might actually be blue-green algae which 1) can be a variety of
colors, and 2) isn't actually an algae, but rather a bacteria.

I've been struggling with an algae that fits the descriotion you gave -
black slime - and I'm giving serious thought to medicating the tank
with a general anti-bacterial agent of some sort.
