when it is high light the green spot algae out competes them IMO.

flying fox is reeally more of a menace...if i get algae on plants i just throw away and let new leaves grow. then fix the issue of nutrient deficiency. normally is co2 related.

using fert from just one bottle of one brand is not enough/balanced. you need to read the basics of plant needs. NPK. you'll be reading a lot of this in planted tank aq. are you from pg? if you are i guess your choices are limited.

if your plants do well you never have to worry about algae. even if you do, just throw away infected leaves. simplest method of fighting algae.
