Default Help with algea ID
I've got some algea growing I'd like a little help with ID please. Any input on how to get rid of it would be appreciated too. I'm fertilizing using pps classic, press CO2, and over 5 wpg of mh lights.

Remove as much manually and excell or peroxide the rest. Don't want to that spread. Then identify why it happened in the first place.
