I got a load of that in my 60L, but to be honest I dont really mind it, in some cases it looks quite pretty lol

to get rid of it, the only way i have found is to screape it off hardy plants with your nails, or to cut it off, if necessary, cutting off badly covered leaves

I use a toothbrush for any algae cleaning that is too fiddly for an algae scraper.

I suggest getting and algge eater or manually takin it out of your tank hope this helps

I had some moss balls covered in the stuff, I moved it into another tank with my apple snail and he's cleaned it all off Trouble is, he eats any and all plants, including java moss, red water lilly, wisteria and vallis.
