Black beard algae appears to be in fresh water tanks.

This is cyano. I am 98% positive of this. It has the slimy look to it, plus has the oxygen bubbles underneath the mat.

EDIT: It doesn't even look like Black beard algae (see photo):

well i have tried several treatments for cyano including chemiclear and that has worked on other tanks for me but this stuff seems to grow stronger with each of the three treatments of chemiclear i have given in past month ????
