Have you done manual removal?

Manual removal is one step.
Reduction of light is another. Assure your phosphate level is Not elevated and you are Not overfeeding. Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?

Please provide pics under white lighting for confirmation of what you have

For reference Chemiclean is an antibiotic to my understanding and would treat cyanobacteria, not necessarily algae.

My phosphate is at 0. Using RODI water also.
I appreciate the help. Will be sending pictures tomorrow.

Yes and used chemi clean

Chemi clean addresses bacteria, not algae and is an alternative and not solution
