Help with this algae

[Fredro84]

Not sure what time of algae this is. Please help ID. I started getting it when I moved the tank from the basement to the living room. Am I getting this because of too much natural Light?

It's a possibility. When you moved the tank, how did you do it? Was everything emptied? Did the sand get disturbed or removed and put back in?

More than likely your nutrients are too high.. do you test for phosphates and nitrates?
Some water changes may be needed or other measures to lower the nutrients to starve it out.. Its just a hair algae.. An increase in natural light can help fuel it too.. but its there because it has nutrients/light to feed on..

Moving a tank too can do that as you may stir up stuff in the sand,etc...

1. It could be possible it is getting to much natural light.
2. New tank syndrome. (algae)
3. To much nutrients in water.

I agree with @mcgyvr that it is most likely a lot of nutrients.
If you have RO/DI water available, do some water changes.
