I have used Algone way back in the day. I think it worked pretty well but it doesnt solve the problem completely. It just sucks all the nutrients out of the water.
Algone is barley straw in tea bags basically.
If you want to use Algone, I would go pick up a brick of barley straw at your LFS and put it a little in a filter bag and run it through your filter.
I wouldnt use Excel either. I have used it and I *think* it killed my amandae tetras.
As eyebeatbadgers says try to boost up your CO2 levels and that should be a big help in getting rid of your algae. I would also suggest cutting back your lights.
