Does dosing Seachem Excel daily kill algae?

In this video I conduct an experiment to determine whether dosing Seachem Excel daily will kill algae. The experiment ran for 5 months and the video goes through the process.

LOL. Seachem will be very pleased with your experiment because they most certainly don't like everyone using their product as an algae killer when it's marketed purely as a liquid carbon for plant health and growth.

Damn no comments on this?

You should have added some fertilizer

Have you tried the same experiment but start from day one with Excel? I would home no one would let their algae get that out of control in the aquarium before acting on it. I feel your experiment was doomed from the start and asking too much of the product.

I haven't but of all the comments, this one actually makes the most sense. My initial motivation was that people often desperately grab some Excel once things are out of control so I was trying to make something really nasty to see if it would kill it. It would definitely be interesting to see if it would even ever get to that bad a state if dosed regularly.
