You can try treating the tank with fluconazole.

At this point this is what I would do.
Maybe next time try to get a grasp on it sooner. Add an urchin several turbos and margaritas.

Figuring out the hobby one coral at a time.
Looks to be turf algae to me, not GHA.
You can't really scrub it off with a toothbrush as it's got quite a good hold, and it's short tufts.
At this point I would fluc the tank and hope for the best.

Yeah tank was left with a light all the time shamefully
Do you have any herbivores in the tank?
Seems to me that you don't have an algae issue, you have a herbivore issue.
Why is the go to, throwing chemicals into the tank disrupting the tanks ability to find balance. I find that just puts you into a perpetual state of chasing your tail.
Get some herbivores and take care of it the natural way.

Agreed, and I should have asked about this.
