What are filamentous algaes? And Algaefix Marine?

What are the most common filamentous algae? And which are the most common that are NOT filamentous algae?

I'm just trying to make sure what I'd be tackling if I tried the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Algaefix Marine product.

I'm on the tail end of a PO4 problem and it seems like the hair algae and maybe a little bryopsys is still hanging on for dear life. I still don't have PO4 to 0ppm yet, but as its going down... it seems like the hair algae is having a growth bloom! After I can test my PO4 to 0ppm or close to it, I was thinking about trying this product out.

Anyway... a list of common filamentous and non-filamentous algae would be nice as well as anyone's experience with API Algaefix Marine.

http://www.marsfishcare.com/

That is their site(s).

I called them and they said their relaunching their site in Feb. This was their explanation why this particular product isn't listed.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ryan
