I had the same experience, Fluconazole didn't kill everything.

Here is a recent post i just made about my plan to tackle the rest of the algae.

Everyone is right, false low reading and no export.

Personally i dimmed the lights 50%, doing 30% - 50% weekly water changes (small tank) and bought a phosphate reactor.

The phosphate reactor (IMO) is the best addon. This will strip the water column of PO4 and keep it there. REMEMBER, when you starve out alges (lights off) your releasing all the nutrients BACK into the water. You need to constantly be removing them.

I also ordered Reef Vibrant (which you can do your own research on)
