Same problem here for last monthe.
just finishing that now. i have a good timer for my light and only have it it on for 4 one hour periods. in about 2-3 days most will show sgns of dying. in anohter 4-5 days you should be good.
im not sure but i think the seperate running times interfears with the photosynthisis progress. i keep a standing lamp on and nearby most of the day.
i have used no chemicals at all and it seem to be fine. the reason it took so long is because i turned lights on too soon and didnt notice te new growth for a couple of days.
I have also added a nano korialia for more flow and this has helped. i might have some pics of this algae in my link.
