Algae problem

[LOACHY]

Hi all I've got 65 gal community tank that's had no problems I got both bottom plants and floating plants planted reasonably heavily I've had a few days off so I've left he lights on more than I should have and I've probably been over feeding them , what's the point in having fish I your not going to enjoy them , I know seem to have an algae problem can some one I.d and give me the best possible solution I have bottom dwellers and loaches but I also have 6 gourami in the tank aswel as other fish they all get on fine but in just stating starving the bottom dwellers to eat it is not an option

Looks like diatoms to me.

Could be diatoms. Did you do a much larger then normal water change or clean out filter media??

On another note that is one fat neon!

May main concern is are they a problem and will they affect the chemistry of the tank , I'm not to concerned about the aesthetic look it's more the fish and the plants

I would say it's diatoms then and should blow over as quickly as it started
