One good tip for algae busting,
Get a bucket of any size "what you have room for"
I like the 1g and 1 quart ice cream ones.
Pull the plants out of tank that are covered in alage,
put them in the bucket with tank water, "i normally fill it half full"
then place it in a coffee table with a inclosed storage with door, closet with a box over it or anyplace else it will remain in the dark for at least 3 days without getting any light what so ever,
then on the third day or forth, pull them out and they should be clean and pretty green.
done this with java fern and crypts and was really surpirsed how well that works.
