1.) manual removal
2.) reduce feeding to encourage tangs to eat algae and reduce nutrient throughput
3.) check PO4 and replace GFO if necessary
4.) check RODI filters
5.) Inspect tank for anything that may have died. If that is the problem see step 6.
6.) Increase daily light duration in the algae scrubber
7.) Large Water Change (40%) (2x back to back over two weeks, if something died)
8.) If it is HA or Bryopsis and encroaching on coral growth, Fluconozole 2 treatments back to back, two weeks each. First clean all pumps (especially return pump) to be sure all aquarium filters and components are fully submerged during treatment. Remove carbon and skimmer cup for entire one month treatment.
I never add additional cleanup crew to take care of a problem having to do with excess nutrients, but I will replace critical members such as my abolone if it has passed due to age.
