I had to fight the same dinos for 3 months long

What i did is lower and shorten the light 50% and lesser whites 10% for 9 hours a day

Stopped carbon dosing

Get po4 to a minimal 0.05

Sucked the bottom everyday
With a 100 micron filtersock to catch debrie
Just before the lights go out

Blowoff rocks

Used a power filter an uv

Put extra bacteria in every week

No waterchanges

And a lot of patience and testing po4
