Algae ID
I am having this algae or bacteria boom after the green film algae. Can someone give me a algae ID? I thought this is hair algae but it is brown.

I do not like that bacteria or what ever it is,I would siphon that crap out and do some water changes if it keeps coming back....

Looks like some form of bacteria, or a bad case of film algae. Are you carbon dosing.
How often do you do water changes?
