What Is This Algae?

[lazarusthefishboy10]

Hey all! How's it going?
I have this stringy algae in my cycling tank that is growing amongst my floating wisteria and wrapping around my driftwood, but looks like it's mainly just at the surface. I know it's part of the cycle, but I'm not sure what type of algae it is and how I can get rid of it. Thank you all for any answers, and have a good one! Here's some pics of it. You'll have to focus on it very well. Thank you!

green filamentous algae. Loves nutrients. Physically remove it and do water changes to dilute nutrients.

Should I then stop putting liquid fertilisers in? Or reduce the amount I put in?
Thanks Colin! You're the best bro!

What Colin said, plus watch your light. Too much is something algae is rather fond of.
Looking at how clean that filter and wood is, I suspect that your tank hasn't been running for too long?

Either reduce the fertiliser by a little bit or do bigger water changes.

I just re-set it up a week and a half a go, so the driftwood and the sponge filter is clean.

Either reduce the fertiliser by a little bit or do bigger water changes.

I haven't done a water change yet, but will do!
