I dosed fluconazole and manually removed as much as I could. It will take a few week but it's vital you remove as much algae manually as you can. When algae dies it releases sugars into the water. That's like a big shot of fertilizer to algae. Fluconazole will kill it but your stucking in that sugar cycle unless you manually remove as much as you can all the time. I dosed fluconazole a couple times during the process. I wouldn't tear it down because it will probably come right back.
