And honestly unless the GHA gets into your coral heads, even though it's ugly, it shouldn't kill off anything. All my zoas were covered with GHA and survived. The LPS were surrounded but I pulled out around them to give breathing room. Only one got GHA inside a couple heads and did not survive. Manual removal is critical too.
Don’t know why you’ve been sent down this water parameter dead end, algae grow at ultra low levels as well as higher levels. You’ve gotta give your clean up crew a helping hand, maybe extra mouths.

My DT is 65 gallons, I had a variety of snails, hermits and emerald crabs and my jungle grew bigger and bigger. I added 3 tuxedo urchins and 2 turbos and raised magnesium to 1500. Everything totally gone in 3 weeks time.

How can it be fake if it worked perfectly for me and many others who have also shared their experience?
Do you know what the primary custodian is for large reefs in the ocean?

Mine was an inch or two long, flowing like sea weed and everywhere in my tank except shady spots. I would hand place the urchins and turbos right in the middle of the thick stuff and they would eat their way out. The urchins actually chewed through some of the rock surface leaving it white.

Tuxedos are awesome urchins for algae. I have never had one that didn't mow down algae.
They do a great job. Mine is currently hungry and eating down to the rock. He is small and will grow.
