I would use Fluconazole as a last ditch effort as it will mess with your stability as everything green dies and decays.
Try your best to maintain low nitrate and phosphates, do your regular weekly water changes with RODI and reef salt after cleaning up the algae.
Options to reduce it or slow it down at least are maybe add an LED to your sump, to purposely grow the pest algae and/or macro-algae to suck the nutrients the algae in the Display the algae feeds off. Buy a dosing pump, My personal choice would probably be an Ecotech Versa. But you could literally buy a 12V peristaltic pump on eBay, wire it to a 12V power supply, plug it into a digital programmable timer, calibrate it and use it as a dosing pump. For way.. Way cheaper.
And then just dose No3Po4X "No Pox".
