Stink to hear but can happen often..... I'm the self appointed master of algae..... guilty of overfeeding :oops: Anyway, am due to take some cuttings from my 4ft tank so will have some Polysperma, Ambulia, stargrass and maybe some others..... flick me a PM if your still interested... these don't have algae and are dosed with flourish excell on a weekly basis, sometimes more.... not to mention the ambient light they get. Yeh.
