Welcome to RF! :D It sounds like you are experiencing a bit of cyno which is a part of cycling. Chances are you have an excess of nutrients in your tank that is fueling it to grow so you will need to try and eliminate it. Also, it would be good to siphon it up as you do a water change to export the bound up nitrates and phosphates in it. Good luck! :)
 
Is it furry or is it flat?

Slow down on what ever you are putting in the tank. Or please give us a list of what you are adding to your tank on a daily basis.
If you don't bite this now it will discourage you real soon.
