Looks like hair algae but breaks up like slime
Goes through micron filter socks.
Tried everything but blackout.
Phos nil and nitrates nil

cant see anything with the blue light please photo in natural light. If your nitrate and phosphate are 0 then you are bound to have bad problems like dinos or other algae.

Hard to see in pictures but sure sounds like Dino’s.

I had same thought. But nothing is working... NoPox. Vodka. Reeflux.

Wait, why are you dosing nopox or vodka? You say nitrates and phosphate are zero. That decreases nitrate and phosphate, you need to get /butt some in your system. Dino’s mostly appears when you bottom out one of those or both. You are actually making it worse.

Your description suggest green turf algae but pics under white lighting will help best with assessment.
Each algae has a particular reduction regiment, so pics will be of importance

if it is dinos then all that dosing and stuff is the exact opposite of what you need to do
