My first algea issue

[Rafaelpadro24]

Hello everyone, need a bit of advise. My 180 gallon reef tank has been setup since Aug 2022 had a rough start with the cycle process but got it done. I've been stocking my tank gradually with fish, cleanup crew, ananomes and some coral including gorgonias. All of my parameters have been very stable. In the last couple of weeks I noted my nitrates at 0 and phosphates are low. Have a Cyrano bacteria issue that is hitting the gorgonias pretty badly. A good friend of mine that works at a LFS told me to use chemiclean to address the Cyano but it has not made any changes to this issue. I've been blowing the Cyano of the gorgonias multiple times a day. Anything I can do to help this issue?

I got this cyano/red slime remover got rid of it. https://www.ultralife.com/product/red-slime-stain-remover/

Nitrate and Phos at zero could lead to dinos. Have some pics of the issue? The ones posted don't offer much.

Chemiclean has always worked for me but it's not a permanent solution. My cyano is always on rocks and the bottom and also loves to cover the green hair algae that I'm dealing with but never on any coral
