That was about fleshy algae. Which would mean macro wouldnt it? Hmm maybe a skimmer is a good idea along with my macro, just in case.

If i could find that video it talks about turf algae pretty much the exact same way.

No matter what you chose to do you will get the best results using a few different types of filtration. Each individual type of filtration will remove one type of thing but not something else and x may add y to the system and so on. Its finding the right mix of things thats the key and it can be different for your tank then mine.

No matter what I do there are some many variables that Im gonna have to just try different things. The algae scrubber is out, I will have a skimmer in my plans. Probably a DE filter for emergencies and greenish cloudy water. Ill put 100$ down that if caulpera went sexual and you had a de filter you would clear up the water in no time.
