Loose the air stone.. it's most likely gassing off what little co2 is already in the water :duckandcover: yah.. they look legit

I don't see too much light being an issue. I guess i would try bumping up the amount of excel you use to maybe 15ml per day rather than the 10 you're currently using.

I like the airstone lol. Could it really be gassing the co2??

Yeah, they will. But I don't know how much of a difference it would make.

Also, some better root tabs would probably help. The store bought ones are crap.

I use the home made ones in the capsules. Bought 60 on ebay.

I also use peabodysparadise.com rutabs and iron tabs

When I spot dosed Excel, by necessity I was over dosing. Providing this is gradually increased you should have no problems but some fleshy plants such as valis may melt away. I daily dose at double now as a matter of course. I have no algae, great plant growth and healthy fish. I also have lighting on 13 hrs a day to promote plant growth. I still maintain that to concentrate on dense healthy plants is the way to banish algae.
