Tank has been up 5+ years. Compact florescents added 6 months ago.

The tank is heavily planted with Crypts, Valenseria, Amazon Sword, and a
few other lil goodies. My main problem is with hair algae growing along
the edges of many of the leaves. The filaments of this algae is from 1/2
to 2 inches long. It is rather coarse to the touch. Close examination it
is a dark green color.

I also have some free floating hair algae. It is light green, very soft,
and is easily removed.

I'm seeking a way to rid myself of the coarse algae growing on the edges of
the leaves. I have a feeling that the coarse algae is light period
related, but varying the light period does not seem to affect anything but
plant growth.
