Steve if that aint gettin't done then I would tend to assume that you are way overdosing the micro's.
I was running into an algae fest like you are when I upped my micro dosing. In its place now I do smaller , more frequent water changes (maybe 10%) and it seems to be helping. I only do a 50% w/c every third week. I dose a minimal amount of micro's only if I am too busy to do the water change. I have been micro free for 3 weeks now and the plants havent suffered, only the algae. Im hoping this is a good trend for my tank.
Have you tried cutting way back on the micro's?
