Help: What is growing on my plants?

Hi,

I have had my freshwater tropical aquarium for 3 years, but recently what looks like a brown algae has grown over the aquarium plants (see photos attached). Can anyone identify what it is and how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

It vaguely reminds me of the stuff you would see when you peel a layer of blue-green 'algae' off of a plant leaf or other surface. Except that stuff was white, and essentially (i think) just dead algae tissue. This, also, I'm thinking is 'dead' -- offal of some sort. Either way its pretty gross looking, I'd vacuum the heck out of it and check ferts/co2 levels.
