Hi All,
My tank has been algae free for a long time, but over the last 2 weeks a new algae has taken hold.
I've taken some pictures of it which can be seen here:
The pictures are 2.5Meg each so may take a little time to view

Can anyone give me a positive ID on what algae it is?
Should I manually remove all the plants that are affected as soon as possible before it spreads, or is that not necessary?
Any other advice on how to tackle it will be greatly appreciated.
My tank is 160litres, 1.75Wpergallon fluo lighting, non CO2. I'll happily go into greater detail on my tanks stats (dosing regime, recent changes,possible causes, etc) but figure it is best to start simple!
Thanks!
