Fertilizers do not cause algae, the source of the algae is more than likely the lack of CO2 as the DIY method is pretty unstable, you should dose 5ml per day EC and carry on dosing the ferts, you should also perform more frequent water changes, 50% twice a week at least and dose ferts and EC after each change! good luck!
 
these is one older pic with ricia in the midle, but i flip out and throw it out because alge was only on her.
btw thanx everyone for comments
i have potting, or dirt for flowers i dont know how u call it.
and its full with mikro elements.

5 ml?
btw i know that diy co2 is yust temporary solution. next month the botlle is coming.
on the botlle is writen 20 drops max (1 ml) - (EC botlle)
alge has shown after start dosing CSM+B, before i dose Profito.
i did a mehanical remove with tooth brush, dosing EC 1ml each day but 1:1 with water mix
water changes 20-30% every second day, for two weeks and alge didnt evan stagnated.
your tip is continue to adding furtiliser and dosing 5ml EC each day on 100 liter tank?
with 50% water changes?
 
no u didnt understand me
i was dosing macro (PPS methode)
59 g K2SO4
65 g KNO3
6 g KH2PO4
and micro (profito)
after i quit profito and start dosing CSM+B the alge start to grow, and than i stoped with micro,and dosing only macro for some time,
and now 10 days before i stoped with macro too.
u are killig me man,i am breking my fingers with english :D :D :D

If you see issues just double it, monitor for a couple of weeks and see how plants react, you have a lot of light on this tank also, without proper CO2 you will have issues, how long you keep them on?

10 hours? Thats the problem.... i bet you never had algae when it was on for just 6 hours? Sort out proper co2 and ferts and then you should be able to start increasing the lighting period

as a matter of fact i did whan was only 7 hours, when i start dosing CSM+B was problem starts, i think that (fe) is problem, and my substrate below the grawel.and diy co2 definitely.
from today i will start dosing more of EC and see how will alge behave.
i will replay here further course
english = level ninja! :banghead:

Yeah that would explain it, go back to 6 hours and do what I advises above! ;) you will see your algae will go away!
