clear algae

[deege]

I just upgraded my lights from cp's to t5's. I now have this clear algae growing all over. What is this stuff and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks all...

If you have clear algae that looks alot like snot then it might be Dinoflagellates. The two cures that seem to be effective are light deprivation and running a prolonged high PH.

Heres an article on the subject.
