Some Kind of Algae?

[Youngstownfishy]

I had too much of these plants so I put then In a separate tank. A day later I noticed this white moss/algae like stuff on almost all of the plants.

Plant over growth tank:

5 gallon bow front
10 watt 6500k light
10gal whisper filter
Gravel and plants( not sure of name)

What is this stuff? And how to treat it?

I have that in my 75. Not sure what the name of it is, but it usually gets bad when I overfeed or dose too many ferts. I just wipe it off and do a big water change and it goes away.

Thanks for responding! Yeah I wiped it off as much as I could and changed 50% of water and it looks better so far. I'll Probably do another cleaning and WC in a couple days. Thanks again

Second pick looks like stag horn algae. Not sure of the cause but possibly an imbalance of ferts.

I think you're right. I ran out of it so I did stop dosing for a few days until I got more. Plus I also moved it to a tank with different lighting. Thanks for helping me out!
