Here are some pictures of what is growing on my plants any thoughts as to what it might be. I have tried alot of things to get rid of it looked everywhere for answers as to how to combat it. The problem is I'm not sure if it beard algae, brown algae or something else. Tank is still fairly new just over seven weeks setup. I made a video of all the things I'm running and using.

 

here is the link to the video

T5 Ho
Bro According to a chart that I have about lighting if your lights are twenty two inches away  from the bottom if your useing t5ho and your lights are sitting right on top of your tank .... All of these refer to t5ho , one bulb the light level is medium , I'm assuming all you bulbs are the length of your tank, 2 bulbs your in the high light , and three or four bulbs your in the too high category or better known as the dead plants and massive alge lighting 
can you find that chart online?
Message me your email and I'll send you the link 
I found one on the plantedtank.net forum thanks for the help
uv sterilizer it works wonders looks like algae is choking your plants
its probably a mix of algaes.  This is a dirted tank? I think you might need more plant load to help soak up nutrients. maybe duckweed or lots more stem plants
Yes dirted tank. Yeah the biggest problem was the diatoms I'm using some phoszorb to help keep the phosphates down. I have duckweed and hornwort floating in the tank. I also think there is some beard and hair algae in there not much but looks like it is there.
