ID this algae and Eliminate

[Jackel15]

This algae has started to grow on my rocks and is starting on the glass. It is constantly coming off and clogging my filter system. What is it and how can I get rid of it?

It is hair algae.

Here is a good write up about controlling it:

Thank you. Looks like I have some work to do

Yep. LOTS of hair algae. Get some turbo snails, algae blenny, hermits, anything that will eat it. You can remove some by hand too. Good luck!

Use ro water and get a phosphate remover and less light on the tank.
