Thanks Andy.
It's got to be the hair/thread algae.
One site said reduce high levels of Iron, and another talked about
reducing light to get rid of it (besides manually).
Some pictures I saw looked like goo soup on top of their tank. = O
YUCK
Good thing I clean this tank weekly, but I will be uping it to bi-
weekly.
I'll have to see if I can curb myself from turning the light on from
the time I get up, till I or hubby goes to bed.
