Black Bush Algae

[Another_Fish_Lover]

Hi,
 
For at least a month now I have had some black algae growing in my tank. I think it may be called Black Bush Algae. Basically, there are little bunches of black bushy hair growing on the glass of my tank. No matter how many times I manage to scrape it off, it always grows back. Also, I can never get it completely off. There is always still little black marks on the glass leftover. I would like to know how I can get rid of it completely.
 
Thank you,
J

Give it a undiluted hit with Seachem Excel, put the excel in a syringe and target it directly, you may need to do it a few days in a row, it will eventually go pink and die (it does not die immediately!)

Just get Flourish Excel just like what Alasse said! Works like a charm!
