I've noticed over the last few weeks some green algae growing in the tank. Its on the rock and on the powerheads. When you pull the power heads it is more like a slime when out of the water. I've attached a few pics so you can see what I am talking about.
Is there an easy way to remove this stuff from the rocks (scrubbing the power heads is easy enough), should I not worry about it, or can someone give me a method of cleaning it up and preventing its growth?
The water seems fine when tested, so I am not sure how to stop it.
A shot of the whole tank (ignore the scratches, you actually can see them until a photo is taken, kind of surprised me when I took this pic). You can see the worst area in the bottom right.
A few close ups of the worst areas.
