I was thinking lawnmower or tang or a few mollies acclimated to SW or something else. I have a 60gl tank with a ton of GHA. I will later be adding a ribbon eel and a dwarf lion.

This is part of my plan as well as phosphate rx.Herbivores are important just as the proper balance of snails and hermit crabs. It is also going to require you to manually remove what you can over the course of a couple days. Grab a cup of water to rinse your hands in and leave the GHA. Basically what you are doing is going to glove up, safely reach in the tank, pinch a tuff of GHA, gently pull and twist. Lift out of the tank, place in cup or bowl of water, rinse and repeat for about 20 minutes. Come back later and do it again. And again. And again. Couple days you should have made a pretty good dent in it and can now look at other options.
My phosphates are too high I'm not sure why I only feed every two to three days. Also yes I use RODI.First - why are your nutrients high. This isn't about test results at the moment because they will be ok more than likely because of the GHA. It will mask them because they are consuming them. So we are back to mitigation and control.
Those are the two main fish I plan to add I also have two clowns three domino's a few zoas and an anemone in there at the moment.Not sure why sort of tank you are talking about but you said ribbon eel and lion. Maybe a predator tank or fish only. If it is a reef of some type you can try vibrant as noted above. Search on the forum as there is a great thread in General about it. 300 or so pages. Vibrant isn't going to work over night but if you manually remove what you can and then work on what is causing nutrients you will stand a good chance of beating it. Must have a good working skimmer though. It is required.
