That sounds like cyanobacteria. Search it on this site and you should find the answer. If not, someone with more knowledge than I have will come along

Maybe this thread should be moved to the planted tanks section.
I second the cyanobacteria.
If you would be able to post some pictures of the tank+algae that would make it allot easier to identify.
