Red Hair Algae and Green Water

[ZWesley]

Hello all, I recently did a 3 day blackout of my 55 gallon tank. I had diatoms and possibly some remnants of Dino’s however I believe they are all gone. I am now left with some green tinted water and red hair algae (possibly green as well but I haven’t tried to scrub anything off yet). I checked today and nitrates are back down to 0, unfortunately, while phosphates are unreadable on the api test kit. what action should I take now?

Just did some scrubbing. Not much hair algae left alive. Attached are pics of the best examples of green water and red hair algae.
