I have some areas of staghorn and bba.
Low light, fert dosing (macro,micro, excel, potash/iron)
It goes away with direct excel dosing to the area but I'd rather correct the problem.
I'm using nilocg's ei liquid mix for macros (2x 2mL), seachem flourish comp (1x 1mL). Micros and Api leaf zone (1x 1mL). Excel 1mL daily. Lights 6 hrs, two 14w daylight cfls in a 10g stock hood

You aren't using CO2....then, just do a daily 2x excel dosage. Skip the initial dosage. You will be fine. Within couple of weeks, the excel would have slowly killed your algae. That's what happened to my low tech, medium light tank. I dose 2x excel daily.
