Initial dose as stated on the bottle
Then 2.5x - 3x the dose stated on the bottle preferably squirted directly onto the most effected area whilst still in the tank.
No more than 2x dose if you have shrimp
Dose at night so the light doesn't breakdown the excel
Up CO2 to at least 30ppm
Im no expert but did it with some success a few years back, squirting it onto effected areas killed it within a few days, I had some on my filterbox, squirting that not only killed it but left a huge mark on the filterbox where no algae would grow for months after!
Ive not gotten BBA for years now, I used to get it alot but I am fairly sure it was due to lots of phospate and/or the pH being too low (6.5).
