^+1 same here, I suggest full dose, and dose some Nitrogen if you can. BGA is brought about from Chronic low Nitrogen levels. I used a combination of full dose Maracyn and a UV filter. I had a light case and it completely cleared up at the end of the Anti-biotic dosing.
Maracyn not working on BGA
I've been dosing Maracyn for 5 days now (at first at half the recommended dose and in the last 2 days the full dose) but it seems to have no effect on the BGA. I can still see it everywhere and it still looks very green and spreading. I'm pretty sure i didn't buy the wrong meds... the back of the package says it contains 200mg of erythromcin activity.
When it works.. it should turn all the BGA in the tank brown-red right? Seems like everyone else has had results after just 2-3 days.

Some also say not the change your filter until the dosing is over.
In my case, a steady regiment of dosing KN03 every 3 days has resolved it and no signs of returning. It's amazing how fast algae and other pains go away once a fertilizer regiment is installed.
