Is There A Record For The Longest Hair Algae

[cheesy feet]

Took it out in one big lump in june, the filter had blown it so that it went into a tornado shape, and wasn't touching any of the plant, except for a bit of java moss.
...Wow I'm sad
Anyway..

Tile grout got on the tank when making some reptile backgrounds.

Thats nothing just after winter when the pond plants haven't quite started fully growing yet the hair algae takes hold and easily pull out 4-5 metre long clumps of it.

I let it grow so that it would hopefully hold off other algae ( to keep the few crypts in there alive) and keep good water quality.I think it may have worked as I got literally no other algae.
It's a nightmare to get off from riccia and moss
