I dip mine in a solution of potassium permanganate with good results.

they say a solution of 1:20 bleach:water. I've never done it. Try excel too. Hmm. excel dip...

But the best way to get rid of algae is get some dedicated algae eaters like SAE, Otos, flag fish etc... And maintain your water nutrients & plants.

Irecieved these plants and the have some hair alage on the leafs. I might just introduce them and let the algae eaters do their thing

I dont have much of an alage issue right now so I dont think it will bloom out of control.....i hope
