This algae is growing on my crypts very fast, the timer on my lights hasnā€™t been working correctly but Iā€™ve fixed it now, so does anyone know how to remove this?

black beard algae.

it's a pain in the backside because it leaves spores in the tank that reinfect plants.
 
Aqua pros has a good tutorial on how to remove it if youā€™re interested it does involve dipping the plant in a bleach solution.
