Looks like hair algae to me, something I'm always battling with in my 29 gal. For me it explodes when there's too much light and I'm putting too much food in the tank. To keep it in check, I reduced the light timer to just 5 hrs a day, and I manually remove it when it starts to get to be too much.

Hey H.K. Thank you the reply I’m on timer for 10 hrs I’ll tone it down a bit for awhile and see how it goes!!!  This stuff is crazy for sure..

Thank you again

You can remove hair algae with a pair of skewers or chopsticks.

Hey Street. Thanks for the reply man been doin that seems like forever it’s everywhere I should’ve removed the banana plant first thing   Candi and myself was hoping it’d come back but it didn’t instead I got this all over the tank but I’m getting there   Thanks again!!!

I have used a bottle cleaning brush as well.

That’s another good idea I got the long tweezers from Co-op. They work perfect. Thank you

Do you have window light, or other light besides from the tank? My one tank with hair algae has too many light sources.

Sorry for late reply  doorwall about 8ft very little sun.   I had LED’s on the hoods of tanks

You know what’s strange is that it all came from the banana plant that went bad it was turning black Candi said there’s a chance it might come back so after about week or so I notice a ton of the algae growing out of the plant no where else so I took it out while doing so the algae just floated everywhere in the tank clinging to everything now I’m playing catch up
