2. stop florapride
3. get some of that api co2 stuff and dose that
Make sure to get a syringe and shot the liquid carbon at the algae. Just dosing your tank with it will not kill the algae.
Other than that, yes, doing these 3 things should help.

Watch your corys carefully when using excel.
I know some people here that had very bad luck with their cory due to using excel, while others have had not problems. Can't remember what type of corys they were tho. I would suggest watching for that just to be safe
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Really? I've never heard that. Good to know. The only problems I have heard from Excel are it melts vals.
What problems did they have?

If I remember correctly, They acted stressed, stopped eating, and a few of them died. I've been trying to find that thread here but I can't find it right now. I've never used Excel in my tank with corys as I went for pressurized CO2 instead. This is just based on what I have read
When I find that thread, I'll post the link here

I would think it very well could be which is why I had asked about your nitrate levels
Algae is always caused by an imballance in nutrients and lighting. If you do not change enough water, clean your filter when it needs it, along with dosing ferts, you very well could have higher nitrate levels. But considering the fact that you to not have a heavy bioload in your aquarium, the nutrients are most likely coming from your ferts
I would suggest getting a nitrate test kit and test your tank water

my fertilizer is nitrate free, and i do weekly 50% water changes, and i dont overfeed, so why would nitrates be out of balance
edit: my nitrate is at 5 ppm, just tested
