Looks like thread or hair algae. Possibly staghorn.

How often and how much glut are you dosing. I dose daily at 150% suggested.
Also, how long are your lights on? A split lighting schedule has really helped keep my algae at bay, even with crazy high light and no CO2.

I agree with the split lighting. It has definately helped me fight off algae. I dose metricide 14 full strength and have no algae currently. You could turn off filters and spot treat it with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide wait 20 min then turn filter back on. It will start to kill it.
