remove as much as u can manually, siphon away dirt trapped at the bottom (especially yr foregrd plants) reduce feeding, water change, add more sae, yamato
May I check with you what is you water parameters e.g. pH, kH, NO3, temp, lights amount and duration, ferterlization etc?

Reduce feeding. How many fishes are inside the 4ft . Do more water Change . stop fertilization.
Cheers!

yeah, I have BBA as well, put in a couple of SAEs and 20 Yamatos (12 bucks from Petmart) + reduced feeding and liquid fert, and it's cleared up quite a bit. I tried to feed such that the SAEd don't get any flakes. Just put a little bit of food at a time, the hungry tetras will go for it like there's no tomorrow and the SAEs (they're small) won't really get a chance. []
I did loose my one large lotus leaf to BBA though []. Now just waiting for the others to grow big, BTW I wonder if putting a root monster will help?
