Flourish Excell and Beard algae

The castle is settling in nicely, as it was a transfer lots of nutrient got moved around causing a bearded algae outbreak, dark green to black covering moss and plant leaves. I dose 15ml a day in a 55 gal tank for 3 to 4 days of excell, on the 3rd day its starting to turn red as in the pic, I will dose for 6 days and stop, in another few days it will be gone. tank is full of shrimp, fish and snails and seems not to cause any problems for them, Flourish will not outright say its an algaecide and the levels used are more than suggested amount, if it returns I may have to use some faster growing plants to consume the nutrients. Sorry for fuzzy pic, camera and operator are challenged. Steve
