I know the pictures arent great.. I need to know what kind of algae this is and how to get rid of it... i came back from a weekend away and diatoms and this stuff was so bad it clogged the filter.. i cleaned every spec i could find with regular sink water to get rid of it and whiped out most of the filter... now its back and it seems it isn't going anywhere... do i need to get shrimp or oto to eat it... if so i didnt know they ate white algae... also fish dont seem to be affected too much but the tank was really clowdy... however it is clearing up, i guess since i added a new filter pad..

ok i think it is some form of staghorn algae... how do i get rid of it without bleach? will ghost shrip or maybe amano shrimp eat it? or an oto... i am already overstocked but am planning on getting a new tank soon so whatever i add will have a new home...
