Teddo,
You got nice big staghorn algae.
This algae appears quickly as a result of increased Nitrate or Ammonia. No matter how clean your tank is you can get this algae if Nitrate/Ammonia was present in excess for a day or two, even if under the range that test kits can read.
Staghorn is relatively easy to fight:
- Remove all the algae you can every day.
- Drop the NO3 to zero by water changes. Keep in mind that even if your test kits show zero you may still have NO3/NH4. So use some Nitrate/Ammonia reducing chemicals.
