I had the same experience adding excel to a stable planted tank that didn't have any supplementary carbon source before adding the excel. 

But I have to wonder if micro/macronutrient supplementing would have made a difference for me in preventing the algae outbreak (green hair and diatomic algae). Wouldn't an algae outbreak have occured if I'd instead injected CO2 instead of adding excel?
