Hi all, I need some help with a massive outbreak of green hair algae that covering all the plants in my tank. Here are the stats: tank 125liters, lighting 2watts per gallon, pH6.8, Nitrate 0, Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0, p04 1.0. I dose with seachem flourish excel daily, c02 is by 2 diy yeast bottles.

My tapwater p04 reading is 2.5, so some is being used by something in the tank, and i guess it must be the algae. How can i get rid of it? any suggestions,it has only happened inthe last week and i havnt changed my regime??? Help,!!!!!
