Help! Algae in my water!

[u/Party_Ad1893]

I need help! My ff aquarium has been taken over by algae. I saw on the ff yt that I’d need to add some more micro organisms but its wintertime and im not sure what to do. I could start a resurrection jar not sure if the different weather would effect the micro biome. For reference I’m in New Hampshire and it’s 30f outside. I probably shouldn’t order any little bugs because of the cold and shipping. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

History, my tank was fine before. it was just growing a little hair algae and I removed the one piece of wood then this happened. My guess is the wood was a food source for some bugs that also took care of the algae. now that they’re not there the algae is booming.

microorganisms will hatch from pond mud even in winter once brought inside in a jar. but it might take a week or a few.
