Algae ID question

[Paul O.]

I have on a couple of my broad leafed plants some dark grey, very slimy
algae. Is this the dreaded black/blackbeard algae? It's so slimy it's
impossible to try to pull off. Thanks.

> Will get pic or two up on aba in the next day or two. It sure looks like
the brush algae as seen at that link. Had this stuff before a couple years
ago and tuffed it out till I apparently hit the right combination of
everything and it went away. Had not been bothered till I set up the new
tank in January. Just got a bunch of new plants in to try and help deal with
it. Now in the process of getting the right amount of nutrients and co2 for
the plants. Thanks.
