Go ahead and do an entire tank H2o2 treatment, if you have temperamental fish or shrimp go with 2 tablespoons per 10 gallons, or if you want the regular dose use 4 tablespoons per 10 gallons. I have a 10 gallon planted with a school of Oto cats in it and I use 6 tablespoons H2o2 in there and it works great.
Let the H2o2 circulate around your aquarium for about 10-15 minutes. Add as much flow as you can using circulation pumps, it's also a good idea to remove any chemical media and bio media you have in your filter, but leave the filter on. After the treatment do a 50% water change and then do a double dose of Excel.
I have done this to several of my tanks a few times now and have never killed any fish, just melted a few leaves with the excel. This is by no means my idea I read it here on TPT in a thread titles "The One-Two Punch" you should check it out.
Here's an algae guide I found,I like to use it for references.
