You are experiencing an "cyanobacteria" outbreak. Please search the forums for "cyano." It is VERY common. There are hundreds of posts about it.
I probably respond to at least one cyano thread a day... haha.
Cyanobacteria, also named red slime algae. (yes it's brown, green and purple)
It also looks HAIRY when you break the C02 bubbles within it too right?
