So I have a small 10 gallon tank set up, and it's been up and running for about 6 months now. About 2 months ago, I started getting this verdant green algae growing. I didn't think much of it, until it really started to spread.
A short time later, this purple algae also started to grow and spread. Both resemble thin layers of slime, and both seem to have gasses that bubble forth from them, causing it to slightly lift in some spots.
What can I do to get rid of this stuff? I'm definately not overfeeding the tank...but I've already tried to manually remove it once and it was very hard.
