it takes time, staghorn will die in a couple of days but hair and thread are tough ones. it took amost a week to see it rotting away. after you stop the excel, just keep a close eye out for new growth of any type and remove or spot treat, much easier to kill it in small quantities.

Do you mean spot treat it with Excel or something more potent?

In some internet algae related articles, the thread algae is presented like a "popular or good supplement food" for some fish, not only specific algae eaters, but also for others, like angels. In my aquarium SAE, Loricaria sp, Ancistrus sp., Neritina snails and shrimps were never been interested in eating this algae, comparing with other type of green algae. Do you have different experience with yours algae eaters?
