Google "Black Hair Algae"


It's the same algae I had last spring, very hard to get rid of. Massive
water changes and antibiotics don't seem to help with this type. I finally
resorted to putting duckweed in the tank, which slowly killed of the algae
from lack of light/nutrients. It did take about 3 months though.

I wish you luck.
