Re: gda ?
Keep up on CO2, dosing and cleaning things, the large water changes should help from here on.
The routine above will rid you of the remaing algae with a little picking at it, manually etc.
If you squirt Excel in the tank after water changes, the rec dose for that, you will also hit the algae and knock it back faster as well, doing large water changes daily and excel dosing(the suggestions after the water change) is an effectyive method when combined with adding more CO2, maintaining good dosing of KNO3 etc.
Not many algae can survive that for more than a few days.
BBA, Staghorn, Hair algae, slime hair algae, everything except BGA, GDA, GW can be controlled very quickly with the above routine.
And we already know how to deal with the GDA, BGA and GW.
So pretty much every algae is licked without adding algicides(Excel is not really one in a way) and focusing on good routines/habits/dosing/CO2.
And it's the same old thing again and again. :gw
Once you learn this, you will be able to help most anyone grow plants and get rid of their algae issues, then they will like you
