So In my newly set up 55 I am having issues with a few different kinds of hair algae. Oedogonium, Spirogyra, and I think some Cladophora. I don't mind the other algae types since my falrowella is so fond of them.
I remove what I can by hand, but there is a lot of fuzzy stuff growing on my leaves, that I cant get off. I've heard that dosing excel will work, but that it also kills vals (I have jungle and Italian Leopard vals).
Whats the best course of action to take? I don't want to add any fish or shrimp to the tank if I can get around it.
