I don't know of any plant that comes with "fur" on its leaves that is an aquarium plant. Check out this link and see if this might not be the problem: [link=http://www.otocinclus.com/articles/algae.html]http://www.otocinclus.com/articles/algae.html" style="COLOR: #FF00FF[/link] Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--

As you probably noticed that link not only gives you the description of the various types of algae, it also gives the causes, and the "cures." Enjoy FishProfiles, and welcome aboard.
