I occasionally have an "outbreak" of this dark green, thin, slimy, sheet like algae that grows on the plants and glass. I know how to control this algae, it only grows when Ive neglected my water chemistry as explained in Zig's EI pinned above....

What kind of algae is this? Is it Blue Green Algae? I know BGA is a bacterium....

Thanks
 
Based on your description, I'm inclined to say it's BGA as it sounds similar to what I had about 3-4 months ago. Starting EI eliminated it for me. Without a picture, however, I can't be sure.
