I would first start lowering the phosphate to levels under .1. Also, spot check your nitrates as most algaes will consume ratios of both. When one is lower is does act as a limiting factor. So with a proliferation, and the fact that it hasn't entirely consumed all of your phosphates (most with GHA blooms will have their params drop quick), your nitrates are probably high as well.
Once you have your parameters under control, then lever the fact that you have a nano and remove it all. You can quickly eliminate algae like this in a nano.
I have always used tongs or a turkey baster to grab/suck the larger pieces. For the smaller pieces, blow them off with the turkey baster then grab a small net and swoosh it back and forth removing as much as possible.
Since you have already handled your phosphate/nitrate conditions at this point, it will be much harder for it to return.
