In my tanks Excel is the kiss of death on algae of any kind. It's the only
thing I know of that can be called a safe algicide and not can't be called
an algicide at all according to the US govt.

It's not as good as co2 but it's impressively better than without. Expensive
and worth twice that if you're serious.
