Beard algae!!

[wills40litreaqu]

In my 10 gallon aquarium i have a problem with ugly looking beard algae and i can't manually take it off my plants. It's driving me mad :x Can anyone recommend a decent product compatible with fish to get rid of it?

When I looked this stuff up a few days ago, the only recommendations I found were to increase iron fertilization and add or increase C02. The book I have says the only way to get it off the plants is to prune the affected leaves. Not good news I know and I hope someone else has a better solution. Nothing that I know of will either kill it or eat it.
