I've had this BBA problem for a long time, especially on my buces. Nothing worked, tried all the know tricks: lights, Co2, ferts, feeding. Tried to manage it with glut but that started to melt my plants, bad stuff. Hyperperoxide kind of worked, but don't have the nerves for daily spot treatments.
So I finally removed all the BBA plants and soaked the on bleach, BBA gone! It was bit messy to put them all back, as most of them were glued on rock.
What you do is take 1 part of household bleach and 3 parts of water. Soak the plants for 30s, it kills BBA instantly.
After that soak them in a bucket with water and some dechlorinator, like EasyLife Aquamaker.
What I am now hoping that BBA does not come back. I changed my filter from Dennerle HBO to Oase Biomaster 250. That should be enough for a 55l tank!
I also reduced lighting and try to avoid overfeeding.
