I suddenly have an algae outbreak in my tank. I have never had this before or seen anything like it. a few days after I clean the tank black algae starts to grow on the glass and within 2 weeks everything in the tank is completely covered in it including the sides of the aquarium. It pretty much peels off when I clean it. I originally thought it was caused because I had bought a new light for the tank that was LED bulbs instead of florescent bulb. But after cleaning the algae a few times I went and bout a new florescent light again and it is still happening. I have had fish all me life and have never seen anything like this.
Any suggestions? My next thing to try is to put the fish in a separate tank and after cleaning everything in the tank putting it in a bleach bath to see if the bleach will kill the algae. I've tried algae killer from the fish store and it did nothing.
