Algae type and advice please

[mario]

Hello everyone,
I have a 90l superfish tank, no CO2, no fertilisation apart from the fish food, low lighting (superfish led 35w dimmed at 15%). The growth is slow but I don't mind, the problem is that most of the older leaves are covered in a black/greenish algae (see photo)

It's easily removable. I have done a rescaping and removed the badly affected leaves and reduced further the light. I am also planning to give fertilizer regularly. Any thoughts and advice would be very gratefully received.

Thanks for your answer. I didn't take a picture of the tank before the cleaning/rescaping. Afterwards it looks like this:

Cheers
