So I realized I was getting an outbreak of some sort of algae on my glosso a few days ago, and since I noticed some bright green hairs.. and what appeared to be BBA, I did the works - 3 day blackout, 5x excel doses, and antibiotic treatment.. However, after today (which is the end of the 3 day blackout, the third day of excel, and the third day of antibiotics), I notice no change - in fact, it seems to have only gotten worse. And now my water is milky - I assume from the medication.. Since my initial guesses about which algae it is seem to be incorrect, I read on the site's Algaefinder and concluded that this algae is rather similar to Cladophora, as it attaches itself very stubbornly to my substrate and to my plants.. Sometimes invading to the roots of my glosso. What can I do to remove this algae problem permanently? My Otos don't touch the stuff at all.
