Manuall removal by hand with a syphon running

Big water change

Added CUC (turbo snails +hermits+emerald crab)

Lowered feeding amounts

Weekly water changes till it was gone

Also lowered my light settings during the process

Cured my issue within 3 weeks I’ve since added a refugium for prevention to help compete for the nutrients haven’t seen any since;)

Manual removal is a PIA, but it's the best way to make sure it's not dying and regrowing. I also used rowaphos and it helped clear my algae up. Took time but everything does in this hobby.
