i think iv been hit with algae. in all 3 of my tank's

in my 60l (sig tank) the water has gone cloudy, its water change day on this tank today. so hopefully that will clear it up a little bit. (there is no fish in this tank, only a few hitchicker snails . which i will be getting rid of before i introduce fish)
specs for the tank
3.2wpg
dosing EL method (micos 3x a week macro's 3 times aweek)
dosing liquid carbon
plant: HC, riccia, xmas moss, weeping moss.

my 20L and my 120L have been hit with this type of algae (see pic below)

both my tank's have this algae in them. what algae is it and is there anything i can do to prevent it?
excuse the state of the tank, water change day again ;p

hi
if i had to guess, i'd say Staghorn.How's your circulation? there's not a lot of plant mass considering you're hitting it with 3.2 WPG.Sorry for not being much help.
Have bumped it again for you, till someone with more know how turns up.

its a 20L powered by an internal filter... the most algae is where the intake is...(like where the gaps are at the bottem of the filter)

its not 3.2wpg in these 2 tanks... thats in my other one which has cloudy water
