Hello! Iv had this tank set up for about a month its my 1st planted tank and iv tries to use everything correctly. Can someone identify this? Iv googled it but im not able to determine the type of algae it is. You can see it growing on the top of the wood. It grew ontop of javamoss i had glued there.

I have heard this called "hair algae" and "filimentous diatom algae" and so on. The good news is many fish love to eat it, including guppies, otocinclus, and many other livebearers. The other good news is that it generally can be manually removed and eventually disappears on its own. Personally I would go with a cheap guppy unless you had long term plans to put something else in there (ie otocinclus).

There is another type of hair algae, aka "thread algae" "string algae" "blanket weed" that this is NOT. (See pic) That kind is annoyingly not eaten by anything in my experience, and has to be removed by hand.
