this pic shows some growing out of the filter outlet

This is some that has started spotting the glass


it started a week or two back, plecs dont really touch it much. Its heaviest on rear middle of glass. I have increased my co2 recently, it hasnt changed much in those last two days.

here are water stats as of now
Nitrate 20
Nitrite 0
GH 75
Alk ppm 240
PH 7.2

co2 25ppm
 
Long, bright green and stringy = green hair algae

The dark hair-like algae on the left side of the second pic looks like either bba or a staghorn that doesn't have "branches" yet. The other two in the middle looks suspiciously like a freshwater hydra (though I could be wrong...pic's too blurry to tell for sure :p ).

hard to take pics as they are small, and removed the ones on filter. Is there a good method of removing them or what am i looking at here. The freshwater hydra might be it. As it starts off as a little ball then starts to grow strands out from the ball. as far as the dark hair, i havnt seen any dark hair, it might just be background making it look that way.
