I use a syringe to dose algae in localized spot.
Turn off filtration and any pumps that moves the water.
Draw the correct amount of Seachem Flourish Excel into the syringe as appropriate for the tank. Mine was 1.5 ml for my tank.
I would take 1.0 ml to not overdose.
Point your syringe at the infected algae location and squirt a tiny bit onto the algae.
If you have more than one algae location, do so on those area.
Just remember, for me, I have 1.0 ml to dose all the content into the tank. Nothing more.
Wait couple of minutes then switch back all your filtration and pumps.
Repeat on couple of days and the algae will magically goes away.
I experimented the Seachem Flourish Excel on my marimo moss ball.. one drop on one spot of the moss ball.
That spot, turns brown. Melted.
That's one precaution to note about Seachem flourish excel... it kills algae and close relatives of the algae.. and mosses are very alike to algae. They are not really a plant.
So be careful.
To clean algae on moss balls, just remove it from the tank, use a toothbrush and brush it lightly over running water.
