I can only offer 2 words of advice...
Manual Removal - if it's not there, it_Can't_ grow... right?
If you have it, you must "Manually Remove" what you can... on substrate,
plants, equipment... entirely submersing them in chlorine will chemically
remove it... getting rid of it, totally is a hard job... slow but steady
manual removal is indeed the slowest but most promising method. A little
at
a time, will rid your tank of it...
Ok, with that said, I ask, will it grow back? If you repeat what started
it, yes... If you follow a somewhat strict regimen of CO2, Ferts, and
water
changes, it'll probably STOP growing, go dormant and may even subside...
that I cannot prove, but mine is no longer growing....
When all else seems like it'll too fail, you can always try what someone
suggests... it doesn't hurt.. I was the one saying I was going to tear
this
tank down to the stand and clean it... instead, I removed it manually,
added
CO2, and ferts, and slowly but surely, it's being removed.... daily.

Mine hides under a tangled mess of Java fern. One of these I'll have to pull
the fern for a peroxide dip, but I'm lazy and it is behaving ;-)
