I would use phosphate remover.

All my white rocks turned that color too.

I would think it’s just more ugly stage

How are you testing nitrates to get .07

Bottoming out nitrates and or phosphates can cause dinos

Except you don’t want to bottom out phosphates
thats pretty rare if you feed your tank...and forget that phosphate reading your test kit shows...lots of stuff bound into your rock and sand that don't register on the kit , yet fuels your algae issues.

I almost bottom out Hanna ulr nitrate said .12 and phosphates were .01 started over feeding.

it’s possible if you have a skimmer and a a refugium or a ATS plus other forms of removing crud from tank and you only feed just enough
