Can’t get this under control, went on vacation and came back and it’s crazy looks like brown hair algae, not seeing any nitrates or Phosphate on test, did water changes.

Agreed with manual removal, that would be a lot to try and get a clean up crew for.

Zero nitrates and phosphates are not good IMO either, though I think I'd want to get the algae fixed first.
