yep GHA, your phosphates are skyrocketing. Might want to consider GFO or vibrant. Both could stress your nice SPS.

your sand has locked phosphate in it. Until you lower to .01, will continue to see this growth.

need to keep phosphates low so they move from the sand into the water column and eventually are removed. Refugium would help, but not a 100% eradication solution.

get some macro algae in the sump. It will out compete it
