black beard algae = BBA

yes they do say that because too much can kill off your fish. you really have to be careful. i did a double dose in my 85 to kill off the bba i had. i redid the tank and left the plants out side for too long. i would add a extra air stone or two when using excel to keep it aerated or a power head breaking the surface.
