I have some hair algae in my tank, and it only seems to like my Val and crypts. I cut off the Val it is attached to, but everytime I look in the tank, it seems to have taken over another leaf.
Would I be smart to just remove all the val and be done with it? I'm not too worried about the crypt as its only a few leaves, and I can rub it off.
Any ideas as to how I can remove the stuff for good?
Thanks

Actually... to be honest, I don't know what kind of aglae it is. That's just what I call it. lol. It tends to be less than 1 inch (I've never seen it that long). From the looks of it, it is a greyish green colour but it's hard to tell since my water is kinda cloudy and when I take the leaf out it 'disapears'. I guess it just falls onto the leaf as there is nothing to make it float anymore. When I feel the leaf under water it feels gritty? Does that make sence?
