Advices on "nose in the wall" larvae

My clownfish larvae just stuck their nose to the wall through their first days. This is certainly affecting their nutrition as meta is being delayed by a few days and I'm seeing some deformities post-meta. I've just set up a recirculating system to deal with water quality and reducing daily labour from meta on. Alternatives that have been suggested about the wall-nosing problem are adding phyto to the water and lowering light intensity. First question: Does the light thing alone works ? I was planning to go that route as growing phyto would be a PITA as I'm not home the whole week days and leave the fish under my wife's care. It would be one more chore left to her and I wouldn't like to do that. I do not have an "easy" source of the refrigerated options like you have in the US and other countries and, although I have access to some powder products from INVE, using them did not reduce this behavior. Next question: Is there any alternative out there that does not need to be refrigerated, at least, until the bottle is opened ? If the answers are no to both, I'll need to wait someone I know go to US and is willing to bring some RotiGreen on a termic bag...
