Default Algaefix experiment

After battling hair algae this last yr to no avail of winning I decided to give algaefix a try. I ordered some from a supplier in the US because its not available in canada. I will try and post my progression during which time. I did order extra so if this goes well I will have some available for sale but not until I conclude whether its gonna work and if I use all the bottles. I'm battling what I'm thinking it both bryopsis and derbesia. I've taking most measures to battle it from GFO, 30gal weekly water changes, manual removal, daily uses of a baster for detritus removal, and raising of magnesium. My system is a 72 gal bowfront, 50 gal sump, 40 gal fuge. Bubble king mini 200 skimmer ( was a deltec AP703 up until last month) TLF 15's one with GFO ( changed bi monthly) and carbon in the other, and lighting is a vertex illumina 1200. Mg 1800, ca 430, alk 9DKH, phos. & nitrate undetectable. I started dosing today at a dose of 15ml. I took my fuge offline, and stopped running carbon and GFO during this time.
