Having a problem with string algae. Lighting is 3 watts per gallon, for 8 hours per day, then 1.5 watts per gallon for the other 4 hours. Dosing with Excel to help everyone. CO2 present. Iron dosing also. Just started with Aquacare Planten + (swhich has N&P) which I'm not to happy about so about to switch, thinking Flourish. I remove as much of the string algae with a tooth brush jsut about everyday, but it doesn't seem to be dieing off. My plant growth is massive! So they are using everything (this was before adding the Aquacare). Any ideas on how to get rid of the ugly string algae?
